Massive flight cancellations: Warning strike brings airports in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe to a standstill!

union ver.di called for warning strikes at several German airports, including in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe. Through this campaign, the affected employees of the public service and soil traffic services are intended to put pressure on the employers in the Federal Association of Air Safety Enterprises (BDLS) in the current mantle tariff negotiations.

On Monday, hundreds of thousands of travelers will not be able to compete their planned air travel. At Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport, all departures have been painted except for one Eurowings connection to Vienna, while incoming flights take place as planned. In Stuttgart, massive restrictions on departure and arrivals are expected, whereby only a part of the planned flights can be carried out.
