Lufthansa Pilots Call 48-Hour Strike for 12–13 March; Czech Travellers Urged to Re-Route

Lufthansa’s cockpit union will strike for 48 hours on 12–13 March, forcing mass cancellations at Frankfurt and Munich – hubs heavily used by Czech business travellers. The airline will operate about 60 % of long-haul flights and over half its total schedule, but many feeder flights from Prague risk cancellation. Affected passengers are entitled to re-routing and EU261 compensation; companies are diverting staff via Vienna and Zurich to keep trips on track.
