Lufthansa cancels thousands of flights, Deutsche Bahn operates an emergency timetable. A court decision on the train drivers' strike is eagerly awaited.

The strike costs have totaled 100 million euros so far this year, as the company explained. In addition, there are several hundred million euros in sales that were lost because travelers booked with other airlines, it was said. The airline is currently in several conflicts with unions and is on massive strikes, most recently among ground staff by Verdi.
