Germany is experiencing a fresh wave of travel disruption after airport ground staff and train drivers separately began stoppages set to affect services into the weekend.

Deutsche Lufthansa AG said its operations on Thursday and Friday will be limited to between 10% and 20% of its flight schedule, and advised travelers to avoid Frankfurt and Hamburg airports, where security personnel are also on strike.
