On Thursday, there will be a warning strike at Hamburg Airport that could significantly disrupt air traffic. The union ver.di has called on employees of Hamburg Airport GmbH and its subsidiaries to stop working. The background to the strike is ongoing collective bargaining negotiations in which the union is demanding higher wages and better working conditions.
The airport management has announced that it will keep the impact on travelers as minimal as possible. Nevertheless, passengers must expect delays, flight cancellations and longer waiting times. Passengers are advised to find out about the status of their flight in advance, arrive at the airport early and reduce their luggage to the bare essentials. Check-in the evening before is still possible on Wednesday evening, but not on Thursday.
In recent months, there have been strikes at several German airports, some of which have caused massive disruption to air traffic. In Hamburg, too, warning strikes have led to numerous flight cancellations in the past. It remains to be seen how long the strike will last and whether further industrial action will follow.
