German airline Lufthansa cancelled around 50 flights Thursday ahead of a planned 24-hour walkout by cabin crew at six major airports on Friday as a long-running dispute over pay and conditions escalated.
As in previous walkouts, it was primarily domestic and European services that were affected, but a number of intercontinental flights were also hit, such as New York-Frankfurt and Hong Kong-Munich, according to its website
Late Wednesday, the cabin staff's labor union UFO said its members will stage a 24-hour stoppage Friday.
