Germany’s Lufthansa airline has announced it is cancelling 3,800 flights because of a three-day strike by a pilots’ union later this week, affecting 425,000 passengers.

The cancellations include domestic and intercontinental connections and are being done in preparation for what is expected to be “one of the biggest strikes in Lufthansa’s history”, Germany’s biggest airline said.
