Germany’s Lufthansa cancels 830 Friday flights in strike
German airline Lufthansa said Thursday it is canceling 830 flights on Friday after a pilots’ union said it would extend strikes to a third day in a long-running dispute over wages.
Lufthansa said the cancellations would affect some 100,000 passengers booked on short- and medium-haul flights.

Long-haul flights will be operating, as will flights run by other Lufthansa group airlines such as Eurowings, Swiss and Austrian Airlines.

The latest strike by Cockpit is the 14th since April 2014 in the long-running dispute. It comes as Lufthansa restructures to meet increasing competition from Gulf airlines and European budget carriers.
