GERMANY – Millions of travelers in Germany are facing severe disruption to transport services because of strikes by rail and airport staff. 

A two-day strike by Lufthansa airline ground staff has coincided with a 35-hour strike by train drivers.

Rail operator Deutsche Bahn said only 20 percent of long-distance trains were running.

The walkouts are to do with separate disputes over pay and working conditions with national carrier, Lufthansa and state-owned rail operator, Deutsche Bahn.
