Five Lufthansa flights from the country were cancelled after a strike by the airline's trade union in Germany. Two flights to Munich and Frankfurt were cancelled from Mumbai and Delhi; one flight to Frankfurt wascancelled from Bangalore.
Those flying back from destinations in Germany were also inconvenienced and stranded for a day due to flight cancellations across the network.
The airline said in a statement that most of its flights were cancelled on April 22. Most passengers affected were offered a full refund and allowed new bookings without a cancellation charge. Airline officials said flights scheduled on Tuesday morning would be operated and many of those affected would be accommodated on them.
The airline, Europe’s largest by passengers carried, said it had to cancel all but 32 of its 1,700 scheduled flights worldwide after unions representing more than 33,000 ground crew and other staff, half its German work force, called the action.
