Lutfhansa Pilots Strike On Wednesday, Sofia-Munich Flights Unaffected

Lufthansa cancelled 110 Munich flights on Wednesday, it said on Tuesday, due to a strike of its pilots.

The strike at Munich, Lufthansa's biggest airport after Frankfurt, will run from 10 AM CET to 6 PM CET on Wednesday, September 10.

According to the Lufthansa website, the flights between Sofia and Munich are not affected. 

The airline advises its customers to check the status of their flight, prior to leaving for the airport. 

This is the third strike in two weeks of the Lufthansa pilots, members of the union Vereinigung Cockpit.

The pilots want to increase pressure on Lufthansa in negotiations over an early retirement scheme. They held a strike at its budget carrier Germanwings at the end of August, followed by a walkout at Frankfurt last week.

Lufthansa, which has called on the pilots to return to the negotiating table, said the strike would not result in long-haul flights being cancelled, although there could be some delays.
