Press Release Summary: Lufthansa has canceled 46 flights due to Pilots strike at its
Cityline and Eurowings subsidiaries

Press Release Body: FRANKFURT,Germany -Airline operator Deutsche Lufthansa AG said
Wednesday that it has canceled 46 flights because of a pilot strike at its CityLine
and Eurowings subsidiaries.

Thomas Jachnow, a spokesman for the Cologne-based airline, said flights out of
Stuttgart, Berlin, Duesseldorf, Hamburg and Bremen have been affected, with most of
them domestic routes or nearby European destinations.

Union Vereinigung Cockpit said the walkout was called because of an ongoing dispute
over wage increases that has been going on for months.

``Because employers haven\'t presented a negotiable offer in negotiations that have
been going on for months, personnel representatives of all three airlines see no
alternative but to declare talks a failure,\'\' Vereinigung Cockpit said in a
statement.
