The Vereinigung Cockpit trade union announced additional strike action for Thursday and Friday, intensifying disruptions at Germany's flagship carrier Lufthansa. Combined with ongoing cabin crew strikes earlier in the week, the industrial action creates a full working week of flight cancellations and delays. The timing is particularly significant as Lufthansa marks its 100-year anniversary during the period of maximum operational disruption. The strikes highlight ongoing labor disputes regarding wages and working conditions at the airline.
