In the aviation sector, the strikes have been led by national carrier Lufthansa\u2019s staff at all airports. Workers affiliated with the Verdi union have staged multiple strikes in 2024 alone demanding a 12.5% pay rise or at least \u20ac500 more per month. The last strike on 6,7 and 8 March led to major disruption across Germany. Over 1,000 flights were cancelled per day, affecting over 200,000 passengers. Over the last few months, there has been a similar flurry of cancellations and delays on strike days at airports such as Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin. Ground handling services, air traffic control operations, and airline staffing have all been affected. Lufthansa has warned that the months of strikes will lead to a higher-than-expected operating loss in the first three months of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the last year, staff at several airports have also held strike action, leading to major disruption. The latest strike was held on 7 March, where security staff affiliated with the Verdi union held all-day strike action at Frankfurt and Hamburg airports to demand higher wages. Aviation security area, passenger control, personnel and goods control and service areas were affected. Hamburg Airport cancelled all 141 departures scheduled for 7 March. Arrivals were still possible. Frankfurt Airport also cancelled all departing passenger flights and only carried those already in transit. Disruption was reported at the other airports as well. Other similar strikes have had similar consequences in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.sitata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-10-1024x576.png\")
