Vereinigung Cockpit (VC), the union representing Lufthansa’s pilots, has called for a strike for today and tomorrow. Hundreds of flights have been affected today, mainly Lufthansa's short- and medium-haul flights. Tomorrow’s strike will include the complete long-haul network of Lufthansa airlines as well as all Lufthansa Cargo flights. But the airline says that short- and medium-haul flights should operate tomorrow on schedule.
Germanwings and Eurowings flights are not included in the strike. Lufthansa’s long-haul flights should operate as scheduled.
The company said it has implemented an interim schedule and expects to operate about two-thirds of its 3,000 scheduled flights today.
