Lufthansa forced to cancel flights
Germany`s largest airline Lufthansa said it was cancelling almost 1,700 flights on Monday, mostly on domestic and short-haul European routes, as a result of planned strike action by thousands of workers calling for higher pay.
As with previous strikes, Lufthansa canceled mainly short-haul flights in order to keep more profitable long-haul flights in the air.
Lufthansa has estimated the strike will cost it tens of millions of euros and has described the labor action "absurd" and "out of proportion", given the early stage of negotiations.
