German airline Lufthansa said it will cancel 290 flights today, the first day of a planned week of walkouts by cabin staff in a long-running dispute over cost-saving measures.
Some 37,500 passengers would be hit by the nine-hour strike scheduled to begin at 0630 GMT and affecting the Frankfurt and Duesseldorf airports,
Lufthansa subsidiaries Germanwings, Eurowings, Lufthansa CityLine, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Air Dolomiti and Brussels Airlines were expressly not targeted by the industrial action.
Lufthansa said it “regretted” the decision by the flight attendants’ union UFO to stage a walkout between 0630 GMT and 2200 GMT at the Frankfurt and Duesseldorf airports.
It apologised to passengers, but said the short notice of the strikes made it difficult to inform passengers in time and enable them to make alternative travel arrangements.
The union plans to stagger the walkouts and target different airports over the course of the next seven days, with a repeat of the stoppages planned in Frankfurt and Duesseldorf

Civil Aviation Ministry Has Opened Indian Sky For Airbus A-380

The Union Minister for Civil Aviation, Ch.Ajit Singh has decided to remove restrictions on flights of Airbus A-380 to India. Now, flights of A-380 to India will be allowed to airports which are equipped to handle them.
At present only 4 airports, i.e. [1]Delhi,[2] Mumbai,[3] Hyderabad and[4] Bangalore have the required infrastructure for operations of A-380. The decision has been taken after due consultations with the DGCA+ Air India + Airports Authority of India.
The operations of A-380 aircraft would be subject to overall traffic entitlements within the bilateral Air Service Agreements (ASAs) with different countries. It has also been decided that wherever the entitlements are not expressed in terms of seats per week, the same should be rationalized and converted into seats per week before allowing A-380 operations to India from these countries. If any Air Service Agreement (ASA) specifically prohibits operation of A-380 to India, the same will also be required to be amended before A380 operations from that country are allowed. The rationalization of traffic rights from services per week to seats per week shall be done through mutual negotiations through Memorandum of Understanding. Before operations of A-380 are allowed, all the airports shall have to get DGCA certification and make adequate preparation in terms of various services required.
As per available information, [1]Singapore Airline[2] Emirates and[3] Lufthansa are interested in operating A-380 aircrafts in India on various international routes.
