Overview
- Lufthansa reported roughly 800 cancellations on Thursday, stranding more than 100,000 passengers across its network.
- The 24-hour walkouts were called by Vereinigung Cockpit and UFO and targeted departures from Germany, including Lufthansa Cargo and CityLine services.
- The airline said customers could rebook on group and partner carriers, request refunds, or use Deutsche Bahn rail links for domestic trips at no charge.
- Lufthansa expects to restore a largely normal schedule on Friday and labeled the stoppages disproportionate.
- UFO warned that CityLine faces measures tantamount to closure, a claim the company has not confirmed.
