Flights are canceled at many German airports on Thursday and this also affects travelers from Austria. The Verdi union has called on security staff at airports to go on an all-day strike. Eleven airports are affected, including Frankfurt, Berlin, Stuttgart and Hamburg. The walkout begins in the early hours of the morning at most airports and ends at midnight. Connections between Germany and Austria are also affected.
According to estimates by the German airport association ADV, around 1,100 flights are canceled or can only take off late. Berlin, Hamburg and Stuttgart airports have canceled all take-offs, while Düsseldorf and Cologne want to maintain some. In Frankfurt, AUA parent Lufthansa wants to maintain the majority of its program, including long-distance flights.
In all cases, travelers are encouraged to check the status of their flights to avoid getting stranded at the airport. The strikes in Germany were called by the union to demand higher wages.
