Lufthansa Strikes Disrupt Leipzig and Dresden Flights

Lufthansa is facing significant disruptions due to a warning strike, leading to the cancellation of flights in Leipzig and Dresden. This action impacts many travelers, especially during the fall break and public holidays, with feeder flights being particularly affected.

Eurowings has also shifted its Mallorca flights to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) as a result. The strike, initiated by the trade union Verdi, highlights the financial crisis at Saxony's airports and involves 140 employees from Lufthansa's subsidiaries ASL and ASD.

Verdi is demanding an 850 Euro wage increase, a 3,000 Euro inflation compensation, and a bonus for union members. However, negotiations have yet to yield concrete offers from employers.

Lufthansa plans to close ASL and ASD, citing excessive state levies making operations too costly. Consequently, tasks like aircraft handling may be outsourced to external providers.

The ongoing labor disputes and potential job cuts add to the strain on passengers and the aviation sector. Meanwhile, the escalating conflict in the Middle East has prompted Lufthansa to extend its flight suspensions to Beirut, Tel Aviv, and Tehran, further complicating travel plans for many passengers.
