Lufthansa strike extended

Travel by Plane

Long distance and cargo flights

Today's strike of Lufthansa pilotes affects short and medium haul operations, including several flights from Austria to Germany and vice versa. The German association Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) now announced an extension for tomorrow, March 19th 2015.

While short haul flights will be resumed, long distance and cargo flights won't be operated. The strike won't affect Eurowings and Germanwings.

Lufthansa will publish a special flight schedule at noon in order to enable passengers to check their flights and possibilities for rebooking or cancellation.

Will air passenger rights change soon?

A new attempt for revised passenger rights in air travel is here. The initiative could lead to the replacement of the old Air Passenger Rights Regulation, especially in the area of delays and flight cancellations. This means that air travellers in the EU will get more rights in the future - but also fewer in certain cases.
