THE union representing cabin crew at German airline Lufthansa called a fresh two-day strike today, affecting two of Germany’s busiest airports.

The Independent Flight Attendants Organisation (UFO) has called out its members on Tuesday and Wednesday at Frankfurt and Munich airports to support its claim for a 15 per cent pay increase and a €3,000 (£2,550) inflation compensation payment for its 18,000 members with Lufthansa and 1,000 members at travel firm Cityline.

The union said that more than 96 per cent of UFO’s members voted in favour of the strike.
