Germany is bracing for major disruptions at 11 airports on Monday as the Verdi union stages a 24-hour strike.

The action, part of an ongoing wage dispute with public sector employers, will halt passenger operations at key hubs like Frankfurt and Berlin-Brandenburg.

Verdi demands an 8% pay increase or at least €350 more per month, citing the essential role of airport workers.

Airlines like Lufthansa are scrambling to adjust schedules, while passengers are urged to seek alternative travel plans.

The strike highlights growing tensions in Germany's public sector as negotiations resume in mid-March.
