		</div><p>Lufthansa has said it will have to cancel almost all flights at its main Frankfurt and Munich hubs on Wednesday because of a strike by its German ground staff, affecting tens of thousands of passengers.</p>
<p>The airline said the strike will force the cancellation of 678 flights at Frankfurt, 32 of them on Tuesday and the rest on Wednesday.</p>
<p>It is also cancelling 345 flights at Munich, including 15 on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Lufthansa said 92,000 passengers will be affected by the Frankfurt cancellations and 42,000 by the Munich disruption.</p>
<p>It said those affected will be contacted on Tuesday and rebooked on alternative flights where possible but warned that “the capacities available for this are very limited”.</p>
<p>The company said the strike may still lead to “individual flight cancellations or delays” on Thursday and Friday.</p>

<p>The ver.di service workers’ union announced the one-day strike on Monday as it seeks to raise pressure on Lufthansa in negotiations on pay for about 20,000 employees of logistical, technical and cargo subsidiaries of the airline.</p>
<p>The walkout comes at a time when airports in Germany and across Europe are already seeing disruption and long lines for security checks because of staff shortages and soaring travel demand.</p>
<p>As inflation soars, strikes for higher pay by airport crews in France and Scandinavian Airlines pilots in Sweden, Norway and Denmark have deepened the chaos for travellers who have faced last-minute cancellations, lengthy delays, lost luggage or long waits for bags in airports across Europe.</p>
<p>Travel is booming this summer after two years of Covid-19 restrictions, swamping airlines and airports that do not have enough workers after pandemic-era layoffs.</p>

<p>Airports such as London’s Heathrow and Amsterdam’s Schiphol have limited daily flights or passenger numbers.</p>
<p>The Lufthansa strike is set to start early on Wednesday and end early on Thursday.</p>
<p>Such “warning strikes” are a common tactic in German labour negotiations and typically last from several hours to a day or two.</p>
