Danish airports affected by Lufthansa strike

27 flights affected by the dissatisfied pilots

A strike by pilots at the German airliner Lufthansa is expected to affect dozens of flights between Germany and Denmark on Monday and Tuesday this week.

Aviation website Check-in-dk reports that the affected services include 27 Lufthansa flights between Copenhagen and Billund airports and Frankfurt Airport.

However, the delays won't necessarily strand passengers as they will be given the opportunity to travel to Frankfurt on SAS flights as part of a code-sharing agreement.

Munich route
Lufthansa will also continue its usual flight schedule between Copenhagen and Munich during the strike as the type of aircraft used on the route is not encompassed by the strike, which only involves pilots flying the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737.

The German pilots union, Vereinigung Cockpit, revealed that the pilots will stop working between 13:00 today and 23:59 on Tuesday.

The pilots are striking because they are unhappy about their pension agreements.
