Eurowings cancels more than 170 flights due to 3-day cabin crew strike

Eurowings has canceled more than 170 flights due to a 3-day strike by cabin crew starting Monday. The cancellations mostly affect flights within Germany from airports that include Cologne-Bonn, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart and Dusseldorf. Eurowings said it was working to minimise disruption to travellers and that more than 1,000 flights would operate according to schedule. Cabin crew union UFO called the strike action during a dispute over opportunities to work part-time at Germanwings, which provides around 30 of Eurowings' 140 aircraft. UFO lamented the failure of talks with Lufthansa, saying the carrier failed to crew a clear vision for its plan to bring the Germanwings aircraft under Eurowings control. Eurowings called the strike "unfounded and incomprehensible to us." <br/>
