Lifestyle & CultureLufthansa Pilots Strike for Two Days, Thousands of Flights Cancelled
Lufthansa pilots staged a 48-hour strike on March 12 to 13, 2026, causing the cancellation of thousands of flights. The dispute centred on pilot pension benefits, with the union saying the airline had not put forward any serious offer.
On March 12, 2026, Lufthansa pilots began a strike. This strike lasted 48 hours and ended on March 13. Approximately 4,800 pilots participated in this strike action. Many flights were cancelled, affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers. The main reason for the strike was a dispute between pilots and the company over pension treatment. Pilots hoped the company would improve their pension benefits. Frankfurt and Munich airports experienced the greatest impact. Lufthansa announced that starting March 14, flights would return to normal operations.
