Multiple strikes at German airports

Without prior notice, the union ver.di called on the services at Hamburg Airport to go on strike immediately this Sunday. For this reason, many departures and arrivals at this airport have been canceled. Meanwhile, the website of Hamburg Airport also states that many departures and arrivals have been canceled for Sunday.

Passengers are advised to contact their airline and check their flight status regularly. Many people have been waiting for hours at the terminals since morning.

The unexpected strike
comes a day earlier than planned. "Today 280 flights with over 40,000 passengers were scheduled at Hamburg Airport. We are appalled at how recklessly ver.di is acting," said airport spokeswoman Katja Bromm.

The union closed the airport without warning right at the start of Hamburg's spring break. Thus ver.di is hurting people in particular, including many families with school-age children, it was said.

A union spokesman explained: "The strike was necessary so that the impact of the strike could really be felt." The damage to passengers is well known, but employers, according to the union, must present a serious offer to their demands.

Multiple strikes on Monday
The strike in Hamburg started on Sunday. But strikes are expected at 11 different airports in Germany tomorrow. Therefore, travelers should be informed in advance whether their trips will be carried out.

Unions are warning of massive cuts in airports in Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Berlin/Brandenburg, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Cologne/Bonn, Stuttgart, Hannover, Dortmund, Leipzig/Halle and Bremen.

Berlin Airport has announced a suspension of flights: "BER completely suspends operations," the information says. According to current estimates, thousands of flights will be canceled on Monday and hundreds of thousands of passengers will be affected. Therefore, airports and airline associations are advising you to stay informed about the situation in good time./ DW
