Berlin's two international airports are expected to be hit by strikes lasting three-and-a-half hours on Tuesday morning as workers press demands for an eight percent pay rise, Reuters reported.
Coming after a shorter two-hour strike on February 12 that had limited impact, public service sector union Verdi said walkouts at Tegel, Berlin's main international airport, and Schoenefeld would be staged from 6 am to 9:30 am.
Verdi said the strikes would cause massive disruption, but a spokesman for the Berlin airport authorities said it was uncertain how big an impact they would have.
Verdi said 250 workers took part in the previous strikes at the two airports, which have a work force of 1,500. Berlin, with 21 million passengers transported per year, has Germany's third largest air traffic volume after Frankfurt and Munich.
