Those of you planning to fly with Lufthansa will be concerned to know that staff will be back on strike on Tuesday and Wednesday, after only just returning to work from the last dispute.This is the 15th strike since April with 2,800 flights canceled due to last week's four-day walkout. The dispute is over new pay contracts, with Lufthansa management arguing that some routes will become unprofitable if they give in to the unions demands.
Lufthansa is under intense competitive pressure from Budget airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. The dispute will affect short haul flights on Tuesday and short and long haul on Wednesday.
