Strikes Disrupt Operations at Multiple German Airports

Widespread disruptions have hit several German airports due to strikes, affecting thousands of travelers. The action, which was initially scheduled to start on Monday, began a day earlier at Hamburg Airport, leading to the cancellation of all flights. Frankfurt Airport, one of Europe's busiest hubs, is set to shut down completely on Monday due to the strikes, impacting international travel to Germany.

The strikes are part of a broader wave of industrial action across the country, with at least 10 other airports, including Düsseldorf and Stuttgart, also facing significant disruptions. The move has been organized by the Verdi union, which is pushing for better working conditions and pay for its members in the aviation sector.

Travelers are advised to check the status of their flights and consider alternative travel arrangements. The strikes highlight ongoing tensions between workers and management in Germany's aviation industry, as unions continue to fight for improved labor agreements.
