At Frankfurt Airport, the largest in Germany, around 75% of Lufthansa's 350 planned flights have been canceled.

The strike commenced at midnight local time and continued until 10:00 PM Friday.

This kind of protest poses significant issues since it marks the final day of the Easter holidays in Europe, with many travelers returning home from their vacations.

The UFO union called employees of Lufthansa and its regional affiliate Cityline to strike. Union representatives have been discussing salary hikes with company leadership for multiple months.

The strike by flight attendants represents the third significant demonstration by workers in the sector this year. Lufthansa pilots have staged strikes on two occasions prior.
