BERLIN (AP) — Ground staff for Lufthansa walked off the job at five major German airports on Wednesday, causing the airline to cancel hundreds of flights.
Lufthansa said ahead of the strike that it expected to be able to operate around 10-20% of all planned flights.
It said tickets could be rebooked free of charge, and tickets for German domestic flights could be converted to rail vouchers.
In Frankfurt, the company canceled 80-90% of the planned 600 departures and arrivals by Lufthansa itself and subsidiary Air Dolomiti ahead of the strike, German news agency dpa reported.
All Lufthansa departures from Berlin and Hamburg were canceled, as were most domestic flights from Duesseldorf.
