The German airline Lufthansa has cancelled flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai to Frankfurt scheduled to leave on September 7. Flights scheduled to operate on September 7 from Frankfurt to these four Indian cities have also been cancelled.
The cancellation is due to the strike called by members of the German Flight Attendants Union (UFO). The airline has also cancelled the September 7 flight between Mumbai and Munich.
On September 7, the airline, however, will operate the flight from Delhi to Munich and from Pune to Frankfurt.
“All passengers with Lufthansa tickets issued on/before 4 September, 2012 for Lufthansa operated flights (even if not cancelled) departing before Saturday, 8 September 2012, 11:59 p.m. are entitled to one rebooking onto alternate flights by Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Germanwings or SWISS free of charge. New travel must occur before November 30. Origin and destination cannot be changed,” the airline said in a statement.
In case a domestic flight in Germany is cancelled, passengers can use their ticket to travel on the German rail network free of charge, the airline statement adds.
