    Default NONREV ALERT....LH Cancels Flights MUC, FRA

    Lufthansa has revealed that it won't run any flights from its hubs in Frankfurt Airport and Munich Airport tomorrow. Few, if any, flights are expected to be able to depart these airports due to strike action from airport staff belonging to the Verdi union. More than 1,300 flights are affected by the announcement.
    It is not a good week to be Lufthansa. Yesterday, the airline faced massive disruption after severed fiber optic cables grounded its IT systems. Now, the airline's operations will be totally paralyzed for the second time in three days.


    Tomorrow is not a good day to be a Lufthansa passenger. Due to strikes by airport staff in Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Dortmund, Hannover, and Bremen, the German flag carrier isn't planning to operate any flights out of Frankfurt or Munich tomorrow.

    GET TO CDG, BCN OR ZRH!!!

    In addition, the fra-jfk and Muc-jfk flights both diverted to Bos on Thursday due to the jfk T1 fiasco. The most disrupted flight was NZ1 Akl-jfk that diverted back to Akl after 8 hours in the air. The 16 hour flight to nowhere!

    So T1 at JFK is out, and there is no airport on the East Coast, or in the US they can divert too? This does make one think, this was not the captain's' decision.

    Indeed. Apparently, the pilots suggested IAH but the company said no.

    Well, that makes sense, IAH was an alternate. I suppose the company/someone thought turning around was the much much better choice.
