FOLLOWING massive cancellations on Monday due to a widespread warning strike in Germany, Lufthansa says it expects operations to return to near-normal levels on Tuesday.
In a press release yesterday, the airline said the early shift would be on duty at Germany’s airports and only minimal disruption was likely to occur.
Lufthansa advised all passengers to check the status of their flights on its website before setting off for the airport, as a precautionary measure.
Monday’s warning strike by the Ver.di trade union had wreaked havoc on Lufthansa’s flight operations, with close to all domestic and intra-EU flights cancelled and about 150,000 passengers affected.
Unlike strikes in previous years, the carrier also cancelled most of its longhaul operations, reported Reuters. These included flights to Asia, including countries such as Singapore and India.
