Lufthansa units face 6-hour cabin-crew strike tomorrow

Frankfurt: Deutsche Lufthansa AG faces a strike at four of its units on Sunday after the UFO cabin-crew union called for a walkout that would spare the main carrier.

Cabin crew at SunExpress Deutschland, Lufthansa CityLine, Germanwings and Eurowings are set to strike between 5 am and 11 am local time, the union said. The walkouts apply to all departures from German airports during the targeted period. A strike planned for the main carrier was canceled after the company agreed to a 2% wage increase by the end of the year, UFO said.

A Lufthansa spokeswoman said Saturday that the airline aims to operate all flights, despite the union’s action.
