German Airports Face Major Disruptions as Nationwide Strike Looms

Workers at 11 airports, including Frankfurt and Munich, plan to strike Monday over wage disputes, affecting hundreds of thousands of travelers.

The Verdi union has called for a 'warning strike' at 11 German airports starting Monday to demand better wages, bonuses, and additional days off for public sector workers.
Airports affected include major hubs like Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin-Brandenburg, and Hamburg, with most flight operations expected to be canceled or heavily disrupted.
Frankfurt Airport, Germany's largest, has advised passengers to avoid traveling to the airport, with over 150,000 passengers expected to be impacted by the strike.
Berlin-Brandenburg Airport has already announced the cancellation of all flights on Monday, with similar disruptions anticipated at other airports.
The strike follows failed wage negotiations between Verdi and government officials, with another round of talks scheduled for next week.
