Pilots at Lufthansa will go on strike on Friday, their union Cockpit said, after pay negotiations with the German airline collapsed, IgbereTV reports
The industrial action affecting Lufthansa passenger airline and Lufthansa Cargo will begin at 00:01 am and end at 23:59 pm.
The airline said it did not have an estimate yet of how many flights would be affected on Friday.
It voiced regret at the union’s decision, saying it had put forward a “very good offer” that would raise the pilots’ basic wages by 900 euros a month.
Cockpit is seeking 5.5 percent wage increase by the end of the year, automatic compensation for inflation and an adjustment of its salary grid
