About three-quarters of Eurowings flights were cancelled on Thursday after the cabin crew of German carrier Lufthansa’s budget airline walked off the job.
“Some 400 of the airline’s 550 scheduled flights were cancelled as a result of the strike organised by the cabin crew union UFO which began on Wednesday.
“Some 40,000 passengers were affected by the action, which was part of a dispute over salaries. “Only 15,000 passengers were able to fly as planned,’’ Eurowings said, adding that there are cancellations and delays at all of Germany’s major airports except Frankfurt and Munich.
German media reported on Wednesday that the talks between UFO and Lufthansa had collapsed in spite of the fact that the airline had offered an average pay increase of 7 per cent. However the union said that it had never received the offer.
“Eurowings is offering customers free cancellations and changes to their booking,’’ it said.
