A strike by Lufthansa flight attendants at Frankfurt airport has ended, andthe airline says its flight operations are mostly back to normal.

The cabin crew strike at Frankfurt airport (FRA) called by the IndependentFlight Attendants Organization (UFO) on Friday, Aug. 31, has ended, and theairline says it is not aware of plans for any further strike action.However, the airline warns, the union may call for labor actions again on shortnotice, as was the case with Friday’s strike.

The strike forced Lufthansa to cancel about 190 flights from and toFrankfurt, among them six intercontinental connections. 26,000 passengers wereaffected.

In a statement, Lufthansa says it regrets any inconvenience caused by thestrike, and pledges do its utmost to minimize the impacts. “Passenger supportand service have top priority,” the airline says in its statement.

The carrier noted that the union announces strike actions on short notice,which creates additional problems because it limits passengers’ ability to makereliable travel plans.

Lufthansa has established apage on its web site for travelers to monitor for up-to-date information. Whenever possible, passengers who have registered their contact details intheir customer profile will be informed via SMS or email about delays,cancellations and rebookings.
