JAKARTA - About 80 percent of flights in Munich, Germany, were canceled due to the planned union strike at Munich and Hamburg Airports on Thursday and Friday.
Munich, Germany's second-largest hub, said there was a risk more flights were canceled and passengers planning to travel through Munich had to contact their airlines.
Verdi has been on strike several times in Germany since wage negotiations began in January.
The union said staff at the Hamburg airport operator, as well as in the service department including maintenance, IT, security, and baggage handling, would not work for two days.
The German airport association ADV said the strike, as well as similar actions at Duesseldorf and Cologne airports earlier this week, disrupted plans for travel of nearly 300,000 passengers.
The two-day strike that cut off Germany's metropolitan area from international air travel goes far beyond what can be qualified as an ordinary attack, ADV said.
