Lufthansa pilot strike

Lufthansa is facing fresh travel chaos as its unions ramp up pressure for significant wage increases amid rising inflation.

The strike, which began on Wednesday, has forced the airline to ground a large portion of its short-haul and long-haul fleet, leading to widespread disruptions across its European network.

Union leaders have accused the company of failing to make a 'fair and reasonable' offer despite reporting strong profits in recent quarters.

Passengers are being advised to check their flight status and seek alternative travel arrangements as the standoff continues.
