Strike, Cabin Crew Strike | featured news

Lufthansa on Friday offered permanent contracts to some temporary cabin crew in an attempt to end a run of strikes which has caused the cancellation of over 1,000 flights and cost the German airline over 10 million euros.

British Airways canceled more than 1,000 flights after its cabin crew launched a three-day strike Saturday, wreaking havoc on the plans of tens of thousands of passengers just before the busy spring holiday season.

British Airways and the union representing its cabin crews planned to resume talks early Friday aimed at avoiding two consecutive weekend strikes.
