Out of the roughly 3,000 planned short- and long-haul flights, 876 will be cancelled due to the strike, “affecting some 100,000 passengers”, Lufthansa said in a statement Tuesday.

It will be the union’s 14th strike since April 2014.

Meanwhile a separate walkout by cabin crew at Lufthansa’s low-cost airline Eurowings led to the cancellation of more than 60 flights at airports in Hamburg and Duesseldorf on Tuesday.
