The service union ver.di has announced an all-day warning strike at Munich Airport for Monday, March 10. The strike affects employees of Munich Airport GmbH and other handling service providers, which is expected to have a significant impact on flight operations.
Scope and participants of the strike
The union ver.di is calling for a comprehensive warning strike at Munich Airport. Employees of Munich Airport GmbH (FMG), the security company at Munich Airport (SGM) and various handling companies are called upon to take part. The exact extent of the strike participation cannot currently be estimated, but a significant number of people are expected to take part.
Expected impacts on flight operations
Due to the strike, Munich Airport is preparing for massive restrictions in flight operations. Passengers should expect a significantly reduced flight schedule and possible delays. In order to keep operations as stable as possible, the airport, airlines and partners are in constant communication in order to be able to plan ahead and keep inconveniences for travelers to a minimum.
Flight schedule adjustments and recommendations for passengers
Of the 820 planned flight movements at Munich Airport, most are expected to be cancelled. The airlines are working hard on special flight schedules. Current flight information will be published on the airport and airline websites over the weekend. Travellers are urged to check the flight status with their airlines and, in the event of cancellations, not to travel to the airport but to contact the airlines via their booking websites, hotlines or social media channels.
Warning strikes throughout Germany
Munich is not the only city affected by the planned warning strikes; similar actions are planned at several airports across Germany. Travelers at other locations should also be prepared and adjust their travel plans accordingly. Here too, it is recommended to obtain up-to-date information and stay in close contact with the airlines to minimize inconvenience.
Munich Airport is a central transport hub in Europe and is continuously committed to ensuring smooth and efficient flight operations. FMG’s goal is to find quick solutions in crisis situations such as the planned warning strike and to keep the impact on all travelers as low as possible.
