Tete_de_cuveeParticipantGround staff, GdF Union, at Frankfurt Airport are striking on from 5am Monday 20th for 24 hours. LH expects to cancel 200 flights.

samanthahParticipantThanks for sharing. I’m hoping the strike won’t last for too long! (as in, they’d reach an agreement before 24hours). This is a serious disruption considering that Frankfurt airport is a major connector for many flights. I had a client who had to end up staying put in Frankfurt in last minute accommodation. Doesn’t look like the situation’s going to improve.

Tete_de_cuveeParticipantGlad the forum is of help. Unfortunately it appears the situation is worsening with prolonging the strike into Tuesday being mooted.

Tete_de_cuveeParticipantNot good news – Strike until at least Wednesday am.
Longhaul flights appear to be ok with SH travellers being asked to make other arrangements

Tete_de_cuveeParticipantThe strike has been extended to Friday.
Again Longhaul is taking priority so should be unaffected. Luftie are planning on upto 100 flights a day shorthaul being cancelled.21 Feb 2012

Tete_de_cuveeParticipantThe Wednesday strike is likely to be less severe as the ATC have been banned from joining. However early movements are likely to be impacted.

DisgustedofSwieqiParticipantMy 0225 from DMM to FRA is delayed until 0625, so I asked for a re-routing and am now on EK to DXB, then LHR.
Hope everyone else has been as fortunate.
