The UFO union of flight attendants stated on Saturday that the strike, which was voted for by members, would affect departures from Frankfurt airport on Tuesday and departures from Munich on Wednesday.

Lufthansa estimated that about 100,000 passengers would likely be affected.

The airline group has warned that its operating losses in the first quarter would widen and gave a subdued outlook for 2024 as it struggles with costly labor disputes, offsetting a travel boom.

Europe's airlines have benefited from unprecedented demand since the pandemic, allowing them to raise prices, but higher labor and maintenance costs have limited earnings growth.
