Mumbai: Lufthansa Airlines operations came to a grinding halt on Monday due to a one-day trade union strike at its German hubs.
As a consequence the airline's flights from Germany to Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore and their return legs were affected.
The airline said it is making alternate arrangements for passengers in India affected due to flight cancellations.
It said the flights from India will depart as per schedule early Tuesday.
Nearly all Lufthansa flights within Germany and Europe will be cancelled. In all, only 20 of the 1,650 planned Lufthansa short-haul flights on Monday will operate due to the limited flight schedule, the airline said in a statement. The airline said it was operating only six long haul flights from Frankfurt and seventeen flights from Munich due to the labour trouble.
