One-day strike at 13 German airports, including main hubs, brings most flights to halt

A one-day strike at 13 German airports caused the cancellation of most flights on March 10, 2025, significantly disrupting travel, according to the German airports' association, ADV.
The trade union Verdi organized the strike after pay talks failed, demanding higher wages and benefits for nearly 2.5 million public sector workers, which were deemed financially unviable by the federal government and local municipalities.
Over 3,500 flights were canceled, impacting around 560,000 passengers, with Frankfurt Airport reporting that 1,054 of 1,116 flights were canceled and no flights operating at Berlin and Hamburg airports.
Verdi's spokesman stated that the walkout was necessary to ensure the strike's impact was felt, and more strikes are anticipated in the coming week.
