Lufthansa and a union representing cabin crew have reached a pay deal, concluding the last of several major disputes that have led to recent strikes at Germany’s biggest airline and in the country’s wider aviation sector.

The UFO union said nearly 19,000 cabin crew would get a pay rise effectively totalling 17.4% in three stages under the three-year deal, plus a one-time payment of 3,000 euros (£2,567) per person to offset inflation. Some bonuses would also be increased.
