German trade union Verdi on Wednesday called on workers at seven of the country's airports to go on a 24-hour strike, saying collective bargaining efforts have made little progress. "On Friday, February 17, 2023, there will therefore be massive disruptions to air traffic," said FraportAll functions allowing full flight operations would be suspended at the airport as a result, it added in a statement, urging travellers to avoid the airport that day.
Alongside Frankfurt, the affected airports include Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Dortmund, Hanover and Bremen, Verdi said in a statement. The strike is expected to affect domestic travel in particular, according to the union, which said it had given advance warning about the strike so passengers could find alternative options.
