Lufthansa staged further strike action on Wednesday last January 28th. The strike action took place between 6am and 12pm. Many flights were cancelled including flights at Berlin Tegel Airport and Frankfurt Airport.

The action is due to a dispute over pay by flight attendants at Lufthansa and is the 2nd such protest. Lufthansa did not confirm exactly how many flights had been affected. Flights to Prague, Zurich and London were among those cancelled.

The airline said they would do their best to make sure there was as little disturbance to long haul flights as possible. The striking staff are looking for a fifteen percent increase in pay while Lufthansa have offered ten percent. An agreement has yet to be reached despite several meetings.

The trade union which called the strike is called UFO and represents eight thousand Lufthansa flight attendants. The UFO says that over four hundred flights have been affected by strike action so far.
