Lufthansa’s Affiliate Eurowings Forced to Cancel Flights

Eurowings, the European budget carrier affiliate of Lufthansa Airlines, has canceled more than 170 flights starting Monday and running through Wednesday due to a three-day strike called by its flight attendants.

The cancellations mostly affect flights within Germany from airports that include Cologne-Bonn, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart and Dusseldorf, according to the a news report posted on Travel Pulse.

The flight attendants' union called the strike action during a dispute over opportunities to work part-time at Germanwings, Eurowings’ sister airline which provides around 30 of Eurowings 140 aircraft.

Eurowings said it will operate more than 1,000 on-time flights during the three days of the strike, the Travel Pulse report concludes.
