More than 40,000 people have been struck by a surprise strike which closed Hamburg airport – and more than 500,000 could be disrupted today while the ranging is spread through Germany.

The strike would have started with a half-hour notice yesterday morning, with passengers informed to stay away and terminals and strangely silent registration offices.

The airport said only 10 of the more than 280 departures and arrivals took place as planned for Sunday.

He posted on X: “Without any notice, the #Verdi union called the services to Hamburg Airport to strike immediately, Sunday, March 9.

“For this reason, the airport is closed and there will be no departures or arrivals all day.”

A spokesperson for the airport said that the action of the Union Ver.DI was “dishonorable” and “unfair to tens of thousands of travelers who have nothing to do with disputes”.

Travelers were advised to contact their airline.

The disturbance should worsen considerably today when a pre-plain shot takes place for 24 hours in 13 German airports, notably Berlin, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Hanover, Munich and Cologne.

More than half a million people could be affected and 3,400 flights canceled, according to ADV, the German airport association.

“Germany’s air traffic will be widely closed on Monday,” he said in a statement last week.
