[ベルリン 17日 ロイター] – About 300,000 passengers have been affected as workers at seven major German airports went on strike for 24 hours to demand higher wages.

Some 2,340 flights have been canceled at seven airports – Frankfurt, Munich, Bremen, Dortmund, Hamburg, Hannover and Stuttgart – affecting 295,000 passengers, according to the ADV airport association.

The legs of attendees of the Munich Security Conference held on this day in Munich are also affected. According to a Romanian embassy official, the Romanian foreign minister’s flight was also canceled, and following heading to Austria, he arrived in Munich by car over 4 o’clock.

More than 100 heads of state and ministers from around the world are expected to gather at the Munich Security Conference.

Strikes and protests have taken place in the United Kingdom, as well as European countries such as France and Spain, as the coronavirus pandemic and soaring food and energy prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have hit household budgets. I’m in.
