On Monday
Trade union: “Forced to go on this warning strike”
There will be a strike at German airports on Monday, which will also affect flights to and from Austria. Passengers can expect delays and even flight cancellations. There are normally nine flights from Vienna to Berlin on Mondays alone - but Berlin Airport is closing completely due to the strike.

From Vienna alone - at least on strike-free Mondays - there are six flights to Munich, five to Stuttgart, eleven to Frankfurt, seven each to Düsseldorf and Hamburg and two each to Hanover and Leipzig.
There are also normally flights to Germany from the other Austrian airports - and often a return flight as well. It is not yet certain whether the flights to Germany will also take off this Monday.
The concrete effects are still open for the time being, Vienna Airport said on Friday. However, it cannot be ruled out that certain connections could be affected. Travelers are advised to check the websites of their airlines or tour operators.
Trade union calls for airport strike
The German trade union Verdi has called on employees in the public sector and ground handling services to strike. The background to this is the wage dispute with the federal and local governments, in which the next round of negotiations is due in mid-March.
The strike will run from midnight to 11.59pm on Monday - in other words, for 24 hours. The airports affected are Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Cologne/Bonn, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Hanover, Bremen, Hamburg, Berlin-Brandenburg and Leipzig-Halle. Berlin Airport is even shutting down operations completely on Monday.
Union sees itself "forced to take this warning strike"
"We see ourselves forced to go on this warning strike," explains Verdi Vice-Chairwoman Christine Behle. This is because the employers "have not yet presented an offer in the ongoing wage negotiations for public sector employees and have shown no willingness to meet our justified demands", criticizes Behle.
In the current round of collective bargaining, there have already been strikes at the airports in Cologne, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Munich, where numerous flights have been canceled
