German airline Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) faces a June 30 deadline to make concessions to cabin crew over pay and pensions or suffer further strikes that would compound the effects of a costly dispute with its pilots.
Lufthansa has been in protracted talks with various staff groups as it seeks to bring down costs and revise pension schemes, to better compete with low-cost airlines and expanding Middle Eastern rivals.
The UFO flight attendants' union said on Monday its members would strike on July 1 if an agreement was not reached with Lufthansa by then. Further one-day strikes would follow that could last to Sept. 16, disrupting travel over the lucrative peak summer season, the union added.
