A Lufthansa Airbus A380 aircraft stands at the gate at the airport prior to departure for Boston. Lufthansa's cabin crew union has called on its members to strike at Lufthansa and short-haul carrier CityLine on Tuesday and Wednesday to press their demands for higher pay. The UFO union of flight attendants said on Saturday that the strike, which was voted for by members, would affect departures from Frankfurt airport on Tuesday and departures from Munich on Wednesday. Europe's airlines have benefited from unprecedented demand since the pandemic, allowing them to raise prices, but higher labor and maintenance costs have limited earnings growth. On Thursday, Lufthansa ground staff walked off the job, while on Wednesday cabin crew voted to strike as they seek a 15% wage increase.
