Lufthansa has cancelled three flights from India to Frankfurt after its pilots called a strike at the airline's main hub today in a dispute over their early retirement scheme.
The airline in a statement said out of the seven flight pairs Lufthansa offers daily from and to India only three have been affected by a cancellation: Delhi-Frankfurt, Mumbai-Frankfurt and Bangalore-Frankfurt.
Passengers affected by the strike were rebooked on other Lufthansa flights via Munich or transferred to other airlines. Passenger service and customer care is our priority and the entire Lufthansa team has been giving assistance to passengers and travel agencies to find travel alternatives and reduce the inconvenience caused by the necessary re-routings, the statement said.
