		</div><p>Air travel has been disrupted across Germany as security personnel at several airports in the country staged walkouts as part of their demands for higher wages.</p>
<p>Numerous flights were cancelled at Frankfurt Airport due to the strike organised by trade union ver.di, the German news agency dpa reported.</p>
<p>Starting at 2am (1am GMT), employees of the cargo and passenger controls at Germany’s largest airport stopped working, a ver.di spokesperson said.</p>
<p>Only passengers with connections were able to go through security checks in Frankfurt</p>
<p>Airport operator Fraport had called on all travellers hoping to board in Frankfurt not to travel to the airport.</p>
<p>According to Fraport, 130 of 818 flights planned for Tuesday were cancelled. Originally, about 71,000 passengers had been expected at the airport that day.</p>
<p>Employees at Hamburg, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden airports also walked out of their jobs. In Munich, Germany’s second-largest airport, a walkout has been under way since Monday afternoon.</p>
<p>Other airports including Berlin, Dusseldorf and Hanover cancelled dozens of flights on Monday due to one-day strikes there.</p>
<p>The walkouts are part of a wage dispute between ver.di and the Federal Association of Aviation Security Companies.</p>
<p>The union is negotiating with the employers’ association for a new agreement for about 25,000 security staff nationwide.</p>
<p>Ver.di is demanding an increase in hourly wages of at least one euro, among other things.</p>
<p>Three rounds of negotiations have so far failed to produce a result. The sides plan to meet in Berlin later this week for further negotiations.</p>
