Holiday chaos continues as flights cancelled at Glasgow Airport for SECOND day

Passengers flying from Glasgow Airport are facing a second day of disruption after more Lufthansa services to Frankfurt were cancelled today.

Both the 9.25am and 5.20pm departures from Glasgow to Frankfurt have been grounded as the fallout from ongoing strike action by Lufthansa pilots continues, with further disruption expected to spill over into Friday, April 17.

It comes after flights between Glasgow and Frankfurt were cancelled yesterday, with Lufthansa pilots staging six consecutive days of strikes in a dispute over pensions and working conditions, led by union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC).

The industrial action has already led to hundreds of flights being scrapped across Europe, including services to and from UK airports, and Glasgow-bound and departing flights from Frankfurt.

In a statement issued earlier this week, Lufthansa said: "Lufthansa and Eurowings are working intensively to keep the impact on passengers as low as possible.

"We are trying to have as many flights as possible operated by other airlines within the Lufthansa Group and by partner airlines.

"However, despite these efforts, flight cancellations are unavoidable.

"Travelers who are affected by an irregularity will be informed accordingly, provided their contact details are stored in the booking.

"We ask passengers to check the status of their flight before setting out on their journey.

"We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the disproportionate and very short-notice strike announcement."

The airline has advised that if a flight is cancelled, passengers can rebook once free of charge or have their ticket refunded, and travellers are urged to check the latest status of their journey before heading to the airport
