Tomorrow’s strikes will affect all long-haul flights operated by Lufthansa.

On Saturday, November 26th, 2,863 of approximately 3,000 scheduled Lufthansa Group flights will be operating as planned.

Due to the extension of the strike, roughly 30,000 passengers will be affected by 137 flight cancellations tomorrow, including 88 intercontinental flights.
