After months of negotiations and a two-day strike, the Independent Flight Attendants Organisation (UFO) and Lufthansa CityLine have agreed on a significant wage increase for around 900 flight attendants.
The new collective wage agreement, which is due to run until December 2025, provides for a retroactive increase in wages of 7,5% from January 2024 and a further increase of 4,5% from March 2025. In addition, allowances and a one-off payment of 750 euros were agreed. An inflation compensation premium will also be paid in part. In addition, holiday pay will increase by 150 euros. These measures are intended to compensate for the lengthy negotiations and compensate the flight attendants for giving up growth prospects. A ballot among UFO members will decide on the acceptance of the agreement.
