AUA passengers must once again prepare for flight cancellations. At Austrian Airlines, more than 100 flights will be canceled on Thursday due to a company meeting of the flying staff. 12,000 affected passengers were informed and rebooked if necessary.
Originally, there were 300 flights on the AUA flight schedule for Thursday, but from the current perspective, 120 have been canceled. The reason for the company consultation is the stalled collective labor agreement negotiations with the AUA on-board staff.
Union demands 30 percent more salary
Ideas for a salary increase differ greatly between employers and employees. Employers offer a plus of 4.5 percent and promise more if the term increases. The union, on the other hand, demands 30 percent more salary and more vacation.
Financial damage of four million euros
The airline announced that the company suffered damage of approximately four million euros as a result of the company meeting that was announced for last Friday and subsequently postponed.
The airline had to cancel 150 flights, affecting 12,800 passengers. During the staff meeting on March 1, 112 flights were canceled and approximately 12,000 passengers were affected.
