Flights to and from Germany’s six main airports face extensive cancellations, disruptions and delays on Wednesday 27th April due to strike action by ground staff.

The industrial action threatens to affect ground handling, passenger checks and airport fire services at Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn, Dortmund and Hanover airports.

All long haul services from Munich have been grounded, while only a small number of domestic and European services are expected to run.

Most international flights from and to Frankfurt will operate, even during the strike period between 04.30 to 15.00 local time, but most domestic services and numerous flights within Europe will have to be cancelled.

Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn, Dortmund and Hanover airports will also suffer flight cancellations as a result of the strike.
