About 4 000 pilots at German airline Lufthansa have gone on strike for four days in a dispute over job security.
The carrier has cancelled about 3 000 flights and has warned of delays both domestically and internationally, the BBC reported.
Lufthansa's offer of negotiations with the pilots was not taken up on Sunday before the strike began at midnight.
The pilots work at Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cargo and its low-budget subsidiary, Germanwings.
The airline normally offers about 1 800 flights daily - of which 160 are long-haul trips.
The potential strike, however, will not affect connections to Bulgaria, according to the special flight schedule published on the company’s website. The 5 flights from Munich, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf and back are going to be serviced, but Lufthansa notes that last-minute cancellations are to be expected.
Customers can call the 0049 800 8506070 hotline in Germany, or 02 937 3141 at Sofia airport and 02 930 4242 at the Sofia Lufthansa headquarters. The email is: lufthansabg@dlh.de.
