Lufthansa pilots to strike on Wednesday at Munich airport

BERLIN (Reuters) - Lufthansa pilots will hold a eight-hour strike at Munich airport on Wednesday, union Vereinigung Cockpit said on Tuesday, the third strike by the pilots to hit the German airline within two weeks.

The strike on Wednesday at Munich, Lufthansa's biggest airport after Frankfurt, will run from 0800-1600 GMT, the union said.
