Second day of Lufthansa strike

The biggest Lufthansa strike in the company's history entered its second day. Lufthansa had to cancel about 3,800 flights and there was some confusion at all company desks.

Lufthansa desks and gates looked deserted at Tegel Airport in Berlin. Only yesterday, Germany's biggest operator canceled 130 flights at Tegel. The German word “gestrichen” was famous. Lufthansa flights were marked as “canceled” on all departures and arriving panels.

The only employees at Lufthansa were those sitting behind the information desk. They were kind enough to inform angry passengers on the strike and had to deal with a massive number of rebookings.

Some affected passengers were vocal about the means Cockpit union took. “It should be sorted out in other ways, not just by strikes that affect thousands of people who now can't fly. I think there are other ways and means to get this done. Pilots have a right to make demands, but not with a three-day strike!” said one Lufthansa passenger.

Lufthansa strike will carry on Friday. Pilots will resume normal program starting from Saturday. The biggest German operator canceled almost 4,000 flights affecting 425,000 people on this three day strike.
