Cabin crew strike at Lufthansa’s Germanwings results in around 180 cancelled flights GlobeBusiness
Around 15 per cent of flights at Eurowings needed to be cancelled, a Lufthansa spokeswoman said on Monday.“First 35 flights were cancelled, then 54, now 170, meaning that Germanwings will only manage 7 per cent of its original flight operations today,” a spokesman for Ufo said, speaking at the Cologne-Bonn airport.
The majority of the cancelled flights were domestic, according to the Eurowings website. Stranded passengers were offered train tickets to their destinations or given a seat on flights operated by other Lufthansa airlines. “I am from France and it is worse there. I am in favour of workers expressing themselves, but I am not sure if the time is right,” said Celine Guiakam, a passenger at Cologne-Bonn airport.
