(AFP) A renewed pilots' strike will ground around 1,700 flights at European aviation giant Lufthansa on Tuesday and Wednesday, the group said, as a long-running and costly battle over pay drags on.
Around 180,000 passengers will be affected by the walkout, Lufthansa said Monday, after last-minute talks with pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit failed to reach a wages deal.
