The strike called by Germany's UFO flight attendants' union started at midnight on Wednesday and is due to last until midnight on Friday. "As a result of the strike, around 180,000 passengers will be affected by a total of around 1,300 flight cancellations," a Lufthansa group spokeswoman told The Local. "Lufthansa regrets any inconvenience this has caused passengers.”The UFO union argued that the stoppage was necessary because negotiations with Lufthansa bosses were deadlocked.

As well as higher pay for cabin crew across the Lufthansa group, UFO is demanding more benefits and easier routes into long-term contracts for temporary workers.
