Lufthansa cancelled four flights to and from CDG after most of its workers there called in sick on today in the morning, a spokesman for the company said.
Some passengers due to fly from FRA to CDG were taken there by bus, the spokesman said, adding flight operations had returned to normal by the afternoon. The other affected flights were from MUC to CDG and back.
The move comes about a month after Lufthansa was forced to cancel around 100 flights to and from CDG due to a strike by ground staff over plans to outsource ground operations to a third-party provider.
Lufthansa, like other airlines hit by the economic downturn in Europe and increasing competition, is in the midst of cost-cutting that aims to improve profits by EUR€1.5 billion.
The UNSA union, which represents Lufthansa's staff in France, has said the move would threaten 199 jobs
