Flight attendants for Germany's largest air carrier Lufthansa will go on strike from 11:00 am GMT on Tuesday for 11 hours at Munich's international airport in a fight over pay and working conditions.

As reported earlier, Lufthansa workers are also on strike in Frankfurt from 04:00 am to-12:00 GMT and in Berlin's Tegel airport from 03:00 am to 11:00 am GMT Tuesday.

Over 100 Lufthansa's flights were cancelled last Friday in an almost eight-hour long strike of cabin crew in Frankfurt that left up to 26,000 passengers stranded, RIA Novosti reminds.

Representatives of the German cabin crew union, UFO, have said in a statement that regret all inconveniences that will be caused to passengers, adding they can do nothing about it.

Because of the financial crunch, Lufthansa plans to lay off 3,500 employees and economize EUR 1.5 B over the next three years.
