About 600 flights were cancelled on Friday as a 48-hour Lufthansa cabin crew strike entered its second day.
Germany’s flagship airline cancelled the flights, from a total pool of 1362 flights, departing mainly from the Munich and Frankfurt hubs, affecting 180,000 passengers.
The UFO union, which represents about 21,000 Lufthansa crews, called the strike in a dispute over pay and the union’s legal status.
The strike is due to end on Friday, however carry-on effects will likely ground flights on Saturday too.

The strike continued after the German airline’s chief executive, Carsten Spohr, and UFO agreed to a new round of arbitration at the weekend to discuss for a new round of talks in the dispute over pay and conditions.
