Discover Airlines, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, is currently facing a strike by its pilots and cabin crew. The strike has resulted in flight cancellations and delays, affecting around 270 flights from Frankfurt and Munich.

The unions VC and Ufo are demanding their own collective agreements, while ver.di has already reached collective agreements with salary increases of 16-38%. This strike is not the first for VC pilots, who have previously gone on strike multiple times within the Lufthansa Group.

Discover Airlines, which operates with 27 aircraft and has 1,900 employees, flies to various holiday destinations in Europe and overseas. Passengers should be prepared for potential disruptions and should keep an eye on flight updates.

The outcome of this strike will not only determine the outcome of the collective agreements, but also the influence of the unions within the Lufthansa Group.

Unions strike against Lufthansa subsidiary Discover

Lufthansa subsidiary Discover Airlines, with 27 aircraft and 1,900 employees, is facing a four-day strike by specialist unions Vereinigung Cockpit and Ufo. The strikes will impact 270 scheduled flights from Frankfurt and Munich, with cancellations and delays expected. Lufthansa plans to redistribute flights to other group companies to mitigate the effects. While Verdi has already concluded collective agreements for pilots and flight attendants, Vereinigung Cockpit and Ufo aim to enforce their own collective agreements. The strike comes amidst a conflict between the unions and Verdi over tariff agreements. Discover Airlines is trying to minimize the impact on passengers and is planning to operate as many flights as possible with management personnel. This strike is the latest in a series of industrial actions by the unions, including previous strikes by VC pilots and Ufo members. The unions argue that the Verdi union lacks sufficient membership and are demanding their own collective agreements. Discover Airlines, a Lufthansa subsidiary founded in 2021, condemns the strike, stating that a recent agreement with Verdi guarantees salary increases. The airline plans to expand its fleet to 33 aircraft by 2027.
