A major strike brought much of Germany's air traffic, rail service and commuter lines to a halt on Monday as workers demand wage hikes in the face of brisk inflation.
Arrival and departure boards at Frankfurt airport, the nation's biggest, and Munich airport showed rows of cancelled flights. "When we go shopping, we have to think do we buy this or not, we need the money to finance our lives and that's why we're here." The rare joint strike marks an escalation of an increasingly ill-tempered dispute over a pay packet to blunt the impact of surging inflation.
The German airport association, which estimated about 380,000 air travellers would be affected, said the walkout "went beyond any imaginable and justifiable measure".
