Lufthansa has cancelled more than 500 flights from two of its German hubs today as cabin crew continue their strike.

Domestic and European flights to and from Frankfurt and Düsseldorf have been worst affected by industrial action called by the Independent Flight Attendants’ Organization (UFO).

Subsidiaries including Germanwings, Air Dolomiti, Swiss, Eurowings, Brussels Airlines and Austrian Airlines are unaffected.

Union members working on Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 walked out for 17 hours starting at 6am today, along with cabin crew based in Düsseldorf.

The industrial action had started Friday but the first wave forced the cancelations of around 10 per cent of Lufthansa’s 3,000 scheduled flights.

Strikes are expected to continue for a week, rotating around different airports.
