It has been informed that meeting due to be taken place between the ground crew of the Lufthansa airlines would delay the flights going from Germany. At present, the ground is in talks with the management regarding the working conditions.

Today, it will be decided in the meeting whether or not the crew member would be required to stage a protest against the authorities for not paying heed to the woes of the crew. If the decision taken by the management doesn't comforts the crew then there is possibility of a strike for few hours.

Lufthansa’s CEO Christoph Franz warned that the ban of the night-flights would damage the position of Germany in the freight market to the Middle East.

Franz stated, "The threat of a night flight ban is hanging like the Sword of Damocles over Frankfurt. Gulf States want to replace Europe as a freight hub. We need internationally competitive operating times and that means night flights".

At present, 17 flights including the starts and landings have the permission to move at Germany's largest Frankfurt airport between 2300 CET and 0500 CET.

According to reports, Germany may encounter air traffic chaos on Thursday, as a union has called for a six-hour strike owing to payments and work conditions.

Also, around 2,500 flights may be cancelled if the strike, planned to start at 6 am, continues, though there is a possibility of it being diverted, as the air traffic control authority applied for a court injunction to halt it, and the authority may file for ‘arbitration’, hence any action may be postponed for weeks.
