Lufthansa has cancelled its scheduled flight from Frankfurt tomorrow because of industrial action, but Air Malta has offered to fly the passengers instead, informed sources said. The two airlines have a code-sharing agreement for the route.

The German flag-carrier was forced to cancel almost all domestic and European flights from six airports due to a strike. The Verdi trade union called on the airline's 33,000 workers to go on strike to increase pressure on the airline in a dispute over wages and job security.
