Lufthansa pilots on strike for fourth straight day
None
Pilots at Lufthansa staged a fourth straight day of walkouts on Saturday, grounding almost half of the German airline's lucrative long-haul flights in a protracted row over early retirement benefits and cost cuts.
Lufthansa cancelled 74 of a total 160 long-haul connections scheduled for Saturday, affecting about 20,000 passengers.
A few short and medium-distance flights were cancelled too, due to the knock-on effect of a strike on Friday, a spokesman said. Cargo traffic was affected on Saturday as well, although 15 of 18 flights still took off on time, he added.
