Hundreds of thousands of passengers affected by a 24-hour strike in Germany this morning.
The association of Germany’s airport operators ADV said the travel plans of hundreds of thousands of people would be disrupted. The short notice also means that “passengers will hardly have a chance to find alternative routes.”
The country’s two busiest airports – Frankfurt and Munich – were scheduled to operate 2,000 flights on Monday, a spokesperson for the ADV airport association told Reuters.
Frankfurt Airport said there would very likely be no departures from Germany’s main hub. It advised passengers to refrain from coming to the airport and called on those transferring through the airport to check the flight status on their airline’s website.
More than 150,000 passengers would be affected, it added.
Other airports affected on Monday include Stuttgart, Cologne/Bonn and Duesseldorf, Dortmund, Hanover, Bremen, Hamburg, Berlin and Leipzig-Halle.
Germany’s air traffic control operator, DFS, said it would not be directly affected by the strikes.
