Strikes at airports and on the railways – where nothing is working today. Anyone who wants to travel by plane today has rather poor prospects.
Strikes at Lufthansa and security staff have been going on since the night. Things don't look much better on the rails. The emergency timetable for rail traffic has been running since 2 a.m., according to Deutsche Bahn. “The DB is expecting a massive impact on rail operations on Thursday and Friday,” said a railway spokeswoman.
