Lufthansa cabin crew to resume strike on Monday

The cabin crew of Lufthansa are planning to continue their strike action after pausing on Sunday to spare its leisure passengers from disruption.

The walk-out will ground flights at three of Germany's major airports.

The UFO Union issued a statement which said the strike will affect all flights between 03:30 and 22:00 GMT on Monday.

The strike is part of a week-long protest against Lufthansa's plans to change its pension scheme.

Saturday's walk-out affected 50,000 passengers after 520 short-haul flights had to be cancelled.

The cost faced by the German airline so far this year is believed to have totalled 130 euro.
