Lufthansa Pilot Strike Disrupts 900+ Flights as Union Extends Walk-Out Through 24 November
Pilots at Lufthansa began a two-day strike at 00:01 on 23 November, forcing the airline to cancel 912 flights and affecting more than 115 000 passengers. Management and union remain deadlocked over employer pension contributions, and further action cannot be ruled out. Business travellers and relocation assignees should expect continuing disruption at German hubs on 24 November and consider rail or non-strike carriers for urgent trips.
