Austria: Austrian Airlines cancels 92 flights scheduled for April 4
Austrian Airlines cancels 92 flights planned for April 4. Knock-on flight disruptions likely.
Austrian Airlines (OS) is canceling 92 flights scheduled for April 4. The cancellations are reportedly the result of a scheduled meeting of pilot and cabin crew personnel. The disruption follows a strike by Austrian Airlines flight staff on March 28-29 that resulted in 400 flight cancellations and a March 14 meeting that resulted in 150 flight cancellations. These disruptions occur amidst ongoing labor disputes.
The cancelations will likely lead to knock-on and lingering flight disruptions through the morning of April 5. Additional cancellations cannot be ruled out.
Reconfirm all Austrian Airlines travel plans scheduled for April 4. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed.
Unionized cabin crew are likely using these meetings and their resulting flight disruptions to exert pressure on Austrian Airlines during ongoing wage negotiations.
