Lufthansa had eleven flights scedulued for tomorrow to former Yugoslav marktes, including from Frankfurt to Belgrade, Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Skopje, and Zagreb, as well as from Munich to Belgrade, Ljubljana and Zagreb.  The union representing ground staff has been involved in an ongoing dispute with the airline, calling for a 12.5% pay rise and a one-off group-wide inflation bonus for 25.000 Lufthansa employees. German airports were hit by a wave of strikes earlier this month when security staff walked out demanding higher pay. Over 1.000 flights were cancelled across eleven major airports on February 1, impacting over 200.000 passengers. In January, airport ground and security staff went on strike in Hamburg and Berlin.
