Germany’s Berlin-Brandenburg airport has warned that all flights due to depart Monday have been cancelled after the country’s powerful Verdi union called an almost daylong strike.
The airport said no passenger aircraft would be able to take off from the international airport as a result of the walkout.
Flights arriving into Berlin could still go ahead, however, individual airlines would decide whether to proceed. Those flights could be subject to delays, the airport wrote on Twitter.
Employers at the airport’s security, passenger control and goods control are expected to walk out from 03:30 am (0130 GMT) on Monday until midnight.
“We once again urge the association of flight safety employers BDLS to present a negotiable offer on April 27 and 28 and not to continue playing for time, otherwise there is a threat of further strikes in air transport in May and at Pentecost,” Wolfgang Pieper of the Verdi trade union said in a statement.
