Swiss airports and SBB advise against traveling to Germany on Monday. The reason for the warning is the nationwide warning strike by the German trade unions ahead of the wage negotiations that start on Monday.
As a media spokeswoman for Zurich-Kloten airport said on request on Sunday, most flights to Germany have been postponed and passengers have been split between other flights.
Airline Swiss had already announced on Friday that it would cancel all flights between Switzerland and Munich on Sunday due to the strike of transport workers in Germany. All connections to Munich and Frankfurt would be canceled on Monday. The flights to Berlin, on the other hand, are not affected by the strike and are proceeding as planned.
In addition to rail and air traffic, waterways, ports and highways are also affected by the strike. Deutsche Bahn had already announced on Thursday that it would completely stop long-distance traffic next Monday. Even in regional traffic “there will usually be no trains running”.
Due to the railway strike in Germany, the SBB is replacing numerous cross-border trains – but only in Switzerland itself. They advise against traveling to the northern neighboring country on Monday. A spokeswoman said last Thursday that there would be individual outages on Sunday and also on Tuesday. (cst/sda)
