A short while ago, the union representing Lufthansa’s pilots has announced a strike action that is scheduled for Wednesday, March 18. It is scheduled to last for 24 hours, from 12:01a to 11:59p.
Details are not quite complete but it appears that the strike will threaten a fair amount of short and medium haul service flown by Lufthansa and Germanwings. According to LH, no other LH group airlines are affected by this.
Lufthansa will be publishing an updated timetable on Tuesday that will provide more details and additional flight information. Stay tuned.

LUFTHANSA Group today has announced additional aircraft orders for SWISS and Eurowings.
SWISS will receive an additional 3 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on top of their previous commitment for 6 of the same type. The 6 aircraft from the original order are slated for delivery beginning in 2016 while the 3 aircraft from this follow-up order will join the fleet beginning in late 2017.
Eurowings, Lufthansa’s LCC solution, will see the addition of 6 pre-owned Airbus A320 aircraft to their fleet. This move is not unexpected as LH is planning to remove all ERJ and CRJ aircraft from Eurowings over the coming year or two. These additional aircraft will join the fleet beginning in 2016.
