Lufthansa<\/a> pilots\u00a0are set to strike next week on Monday and Tuesday, the pilot’s\u00a0trade union announced on Saturday.\u00a0Lufthansa Cargo, Lufthansa Cityline and Eurowings are all included in the call to down tools.<\/p>\n

The work stoppage is expected\u00a0to run from 12:01 am on Monday (22:01 UTC on\u00a0Sunday) through to 23:59 pm on Tuesday, the union said.<\/p>\n

What the pilots’ union has said<\/h2>\n

“The\u00a0Cockpit Union\u00a0feels compelled to take this step after the employers showed no discernible willingness to reach a solution in several collective bargaining disputes,” the organization said.<\/p>\n

“Despite a deliberate decision not to take strike action over the Easter holidays, no serious offers were forthcoming. During this period, there was neither a response nor any discernible willingness to engage in talks on the part of the employers,” union President Andreas Pinheiro said.<\/p>\n

The move\u00a0comes just a day after Lufthansa’s cabin crew halted work<\/a>, after the UFO trade union called a one-day strike starting at 10:00 pm on Friday\u00a0for its members both with Lufthansa and its Cityline regional subsidiary.<\/p>\n

Germany’s flagship carrier canceled hundreds of flights in advance of the strike, as it struggled to mitigate the impact of the walkout.<\/p>\n

Cancellations\u00a0hit Lufthansa\u00a0hubs in Munich and Frankfurt, as well as other airports, including Leipzig\/Halle, Berlin and Stuttgart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At its largest operation\u00a0in Frankfurt, nearly 75% of some 350 scheduled Lufthansa departures were canceled.<\/p>\n

In February, Lufthansa flights were grounded when pilots and flight attendants went on a one day strike.<\/p>\n

In that strike action the company said that nearlyt 800 flights were canceled, affecting about 100,000 passengers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
