Deutsche Lufthansa AG clinched a wage accord with cabin crew, ending months of intense negotiations that had been punctured by crippling strikes at Europe’s largest airline group.
The deal will give about 19,000 members of Lufthansa’s cabin personnel a 16.5% wage increase in three steps over 36 months, Lufthansa said in a statement. The accord is valid until at least the end of 2026 and protects Lufthansa from strikes until then.
