FRANKFURT - Pilots at Lufthansa went on strike on Friday , forcing the German airline to cancel hundreds of flights, stranding holidaymakers.
Strikes and staff shortages have already forced several airlines, including Lufthansa, to cancel thousands of flights this summer, leading to long queues at major airports, frustrating people keen to start travelling again after Covid-19 lockdowns. "At Johannesburg airport yesterday, it was chaos because people didn't know whether they should check in their luggage to Amsterdam or to Frankfurt."
The airline has offered a total of 900 euros more in basic pay per month in two stages over an 18-month period, which it said would result in more than 18 per cent higher pay for entry-level jobs and 5 per cent more for senior positions.
