Lufthansa pilots union Vereinigung Cockpit has extended its strike by another day.

Cancellations include four flights each way between Dublin Airport and Frankfurt and Munich.

The cancellations outbound are LH983@05:30, LH979@12:25, LH2515@17:35 and LH981@17:55.

Vereinigung Cockpit members among Lufthansa’s 5,400 pilots are unhappy about management’s reported offer to raise their wages by 2.5 percent by 2018.

It is the 14th strike to hit the airline in its long-running pay row with the pilots’ union.

Flights by Lufthansa’s other airlines including Germanwings, Eurowings, Austrian Airlines, SWISS and Brussels Airlines, are not affected by this strike but public-sector union Verdi announced Monday there would be a 24-hour strike on Tuesday by cabin crews at Lufthansa’s low cost airline Eurowings.
