The walkout, scheduled to start at 11 pm GMT on Wednesday and end on Friday at 11 pm GMT, "will affect all Lufthansa flights" scheduled to leave from German airports, said Daniel Flohr, deputy chairman of the UFO cabin crew union. The union already staged a day-long warning strike on October 20th involving four smaller Lufthansa subsidiary airlines, causing dozens of flight cancellations for Eurowings, Germanwings, SunExpress and Lufthansa CityLine passengers.

Lufthansa said it strongly condemned this week's planned walkout and said it was considering its legal options. Internal disputes at the union have cost it members and support among cabin crew, some of whom have now turned to other representative organisations.
