Deutsche Lufthansa AG is bracing for a cabin crew strike on April 10, 2023, which will disrupt flight operations at major airports across Germany, including Frankfurt and Munich. The strike, organized by the UFO union, is scheduled from 12:01 AM to 10 PM and comes after months of stalled negotiations regarding working conditions for 19,000 cabin crew members and social provisions for 800 CityLine employees. The union's head, Joachim Váquez Bürger, expressed regret over the disruption but emphasized that Lufthansa's failure to present a negotiable offer is to blame. This strike follows previous labor actions, including pilots' strikes earlier this year, which have already complicated Lufthansa's operations. The airline has announced a revised flight schedule to mitigate disruptions, deploying larger aircraft and increasing services through its group airlines. Despite these challenges, Lufthansa reported an operating profit of €1.96 billion ($2.27 billion) in its latest financial results, reflecting a 20% increase from the previous year, although its shares fell by 4.4% in trading on Thursday.
