Deutsche Lufthansa AG faces a week-long strike by cabin crew as part of a long-running dispute with unions related to plans to expand low-cost unit Eurowings.

Flight attendants will walk out Nov. 6 through Nov. 13 unless Lufthansa improves its offer, union head Nicoley Baublies said at a press conference in Moerfelden-Walldorf, Germany. The union set a deadline of Thursday at 5 p.m. in Frankfurt for new terms.
