Posted on: 20/Feb/2024 12:25:07 PM
The routine operation of Lufthansa`s flight from Chennai to Frankfurt was abruptly halted on Tuesday due to a widespread strike among the airline`s staff in Germany and other global locations.
Lufthansa Airlines, renowned for its daily flight service between Chennai and Germany, faced significant disruption as its flight, vital for passengers traveling to destinations like the USA and Canada, was cancelled. The flight typically arrived in Chennai at 11:50 PM and departed for Frankfurt at 1:50 AM, serving as a crucial connection hub for numerous international travelers.
The upheaval ensued when Lufthansa`s workforce in Germany initiated protests in demand of improved wages, causing a ripple effect across the airline`s global operations. Despite the flight arriving in Chennai from Frankfurt on Monday with 268 passengers, its scheduled departure was axed, disrupting travel plans for many.
Fortunately, proactive communication from the airline ensured that most affected passengers were informed well in advance, preventing unnecessary hassles at the airport. It is anticipated that flight services will resume on Wednesday, bringing relief to stranded travelers and restoring the crucial link between Chennai and Frankfurt.
