A Lufthansa flight will arrive this evening at Cairo International Airport in the wake of a two-day hiatus. The airlines will resume its flights to Egypt after eight flights had been canceled over the past two days, due to a strike held by pilots of the company, sources from the airport told the privately-owned Al-Borsa newspaper. The Lufthansa pilots staged a strike on Wednesday demanding salary raises. The strike, which affected over 100,000 passengers worldwide, has lead to the cancelation of at least 2,600 flights since it was started. Lufthansa offered 4.4 percent salary increase after the strike was staged, in addition to a one-time payment of 1.8 times the monthly salary.
