Strike at Munich Airport: chaos and delays for travelers!

Salzburg, Österreich - A massive warning strike at Munich Airport ensures chaos among the travelers. Over 1,600 flights will be painted on Thursday and Friday, which means that many passengers are in front of an appointment chaos. The Verdi union calls for new collective contracts and has already organized Warnstreks in Cologne and Düsseldorf, while the effects in Munich are now particularly noticeable. The Salzburg ski jumpers, such as Stefan Kraft and Jan Hörl, are particularly affected, whose departure to the Nordic Ski World Cup in Norway had to be brought forward by one day, such as Salzburg24.at reported.

As a result of the strike, air traffic to Salzburg is also influenced because some flights could be redirected to Salzburg. Overall, however, additional machines will only be available to a limited extent. According to the airport spokesman Alexander Klaus, diversion is often uneconomical, and the airlines prefer to offer traveling alternative flights from other airports. The exact figures of the rebooked passengers from the Salzburg region and travelers who actually wanted to Munich have remained unclear so far. Orf Salzburg also describes that the strike will end from Friday to Saturday at midnight.

advice for travelers

Passengers are entitled to free rebookings or reimbursements if their flights are due to the strike. Especially with longer travel interruptions, a solution is searched for not to let travelers down.
