Lufthansa to cancel 3,800 flights due to pilots' strike

Lufthansa, Germany's biggest airline, said on Monday it will cancel most of its flights later this week due to a pilots' strike.

The carrier said in a statement: "As a result of the planned strike by the pilots' union Cockpit, around 3,800 flights will be cancelled on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

"During the three-day stoppage by Cockpit teams, there will only be around 500 short- and long-haul flights by Lufthansa and Germanwings."
