Hundreds of flights cancelled as strikes hit German airports

Hundreds of flights have been cancelled across Germany as airport workers stage a nationwide strike over pay, posing a major disruption for air travellers.
 
The industrial action, led by the trade union Verdi, began unexpectedly on Sunday at Hamburg Airport, before expanding to a nationwide strike.
 
Passengers at Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin and other major hubs have been urged not to travel to airports, with operations severely disrupted.
 
Frankfurt, Germany's busiest airport, said passengers would be unable to board flights and transfer would almost certainly be affected.
 
Verdi, which represents public sector and transport workers, is in an ongoing dispute over wages and working conditions.
