Lufthansa Adjusts Flights Amid Cabin Crew Strikes in Frankfurt and Munich

The UFO union strike prompts Lufthansa to rebook affected flights on March 12 and 13. The airline prioritizes rebooking processes amid additional disruptions caused by a nationwide train drivers' strike.

Lufthansa is facing operational challenges as the UFO union has announced a cabin crew strike, urging Lufthansa staff in Frankfurt to walk out on Tuesday, March 12, and in Munich on Wednesday, March 13. The strike is expected to cause significant disruptions to the airline's flight schedule, prompting Lufthansa to undertake a massive rebooking effort to accommodate affected passengers.

The airline has emphasized that rebooking affected passengers is their utmost priority and is currently in the process of adjusting its flight program to manage the expected disruptions. Lufthansa has been actively contacting guests whose flights are impacted by the strike, offering them information on flight cancellations and alternative travel arrangements through email and the Lufthansa app.

Compounding the travel woes, the GDL train drivers' union has also announced a nationwide strike on March 12, leading to the cancellation of all train services across Germany on that day. Lufthansa advises passengers planning to use train services to adjust their plans and utilize their rail vouchers on Wednesday, March 13, instead.

Lufthansa extends its apologies for the inconvenience caused by these strikes and appreciates the patience and understanding of its passengers during this exceptional situation. The airline is committed to minimizing the impact of these strikes on its passengers' travel plans and ensuring their safety and comfort.
