Lufthansa To Cancel 929 Flights On Monday

Lufthansa will cancel 929 flights on Monday, affecting 113,000 passengers, after a cabin crew union announced a walk-out at three of the German airline's major airports for almost the entire day.

The strike is part of a week of action by cabin crew union UFO to push demands in a long-running row over early retirement benefits and pensions.

Monday's strike will affect short- and long-haul Lufthansa flights at Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf from 04:30 CET.

The union started a series of walk-outs on Friday that is set to become the longest ever strike at the carrier.

Lufthansa is trying to negotiate with various staff groups to bring down costs to compete better with low-cost rivals and Gulf carriers.

Lufthansa said on senior management will meet on Monday to discuss the consequences of the strike.
