Discover Airlines, a subsidiary of Lufthansa in Germany, initiates a four-day strike, affecting numerous flights

On the evening of August 27 local time, the pilots and flight attendants of Discover Airlines, a subsidiary of Lufthansa in Germany, launched a four-day strike.

Discover Airlines was established in 2021 and mainly operates flights from Germany to major vacation destinations in Europe and around the world. It currently has about 1900 employees. This strike is expected to affect 270 flights departing from Frankfurt and Munich in Germany. However, Lufthansa said it will deploy other aircraft to minimize the inconvenience caused by flight cancellations to passengers.

The German flight attendants' union said that all union members and the flight crews employed by Discover Airlines in Germany can participate in the strike. The union's goal is to increase the salaries of the airline's flight attendants by 8.5% in 2025 and 6.5% in 2026. This strike incident has attracted widespread attention. Relevant departments and airlines are actively taking measures to deal with various possible situations and minimize the impact on passengers.
