Workers' strikes began at major airports across Germany on Monday. Here's which airports are affected and what to know if your flight is delayed or cancelled.

‍ DALLAS — Today, March 10, 2025, an unprecedented labor strike organized by Germany’s ver.di trade union paralyzed air travel across the country, leading to the cancellation of over 3,400 flights and affecting more than 500,000 passengers.

Air traffic at Germany’s major airports ground to a near standstill on Monday after labor union Ver.di called on ground personnel, baggage handlers and security staff to go on strike.

At Frankfurt, the country's busiest airport, operator Fraport said no passengers would be able to board and that disruptions would "almost certainly" affect transit travel, according to German daily Bild. Airports in Bremen, Cologne, Dortmund, Duesseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, Leipzig, Munich and Stuttgart were also affected.

More than half a million people are facing travel disruption at German airports today where a 24-hour strike has led to thousands of flight cancellations in a dispute about workers' pay.

Air travel at 13 German airports came to a standstill during a 24-hour strike.

The uncertainty surrounding the resumption of flights adds a layer of tension for the tourism industry, which heavily relies on air connectivity to sustain its recovery post-pandemic.
