A one-day strike initiated at midnight by airport workers at 13 German airports led to the cancellation of most flights, particularly at Frankfurt and Munich. The union involved, ver.di, represents public-sector employees, including ground and security staff. By mid-day, over 1,000 flights at Frankfurt were canceled, and operations at Berlin and Hamburg airports were completely halted. The strike is linked to dual pay disputes: one concerning airport security workers and another involving federal and municipal government employees, with further negotiations scheduled soon.
