Prague flights cancelled during Lufthansa strike

Flights between German destinations and Prague have been hit by a strike by Lufthansa pilots on Wednesday. Around 10 flights between Prague and the cities of Frankfurt and Munich were among the early casualties of the strike starting just after midnight. The strike targets short-haul and European flights but not long distance connections. A meeting will be held by pilots on Thursday to decide whether the one day action should be widened. The strike was sparked by a long-running dispute between Lufthansa management and the pilots over their pension payments and rights.
