The Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) union has announced a two-day strike for Lufthansa pilots, starting from April 13, 2024, due to ongoing disputes over salary and pensions. This will be the fifth strike this year, reflecting the union's frustration over the lack of serious negotiations from the airline. The strike will impact flights from Lufthansa, its subsidiaries CityLine and Eurowings, as well as Lufthansa Cargo, but flights to certain Middle Eastern destinations will remain unaffected. VC President Andreas Pinheiro criticized the airline for its unwillingness to negotiate, while Lufthansa described the union's demands as 'absurd.' The airline has already faced significant disruptions due to a separate strike by cabin crew that resulted in hundreds of flight cancellations. As the situation develops, passengers are expressing frustration over the impact on their travel plans.
