A two-day strike by workers at Munich Airport has resulted in most flights being cancelled.
The strike at Germany’s second biggest airport started on Thursday.
The airport operator said airlines had cancelled about 80% of their flights to and from Munich and further cancellations were not ruled out.
A union for service workers called the “warning strike”, a tactic often used in German pay negotiations, on Monday as it seeks to step up pressure in ongoing talks with the federal government and municipal authorities on wages and working conditions for public sector employees.
The industrial action is set to end at midnight on Friday. Workers at ground handling services are among those taking part.
Public sector workers also walked off the job in various other locations and services in Germany.
Those included some workers at Hamburg Airport, though the airport said the only flights cancelled were those to and from Munich, German news agency dpa reported.
Hamburg Airport advised travellers to arrive early and, if possible, with only hand luggage.
