Berlin-Brandenburg Airport to suspend all flights after strike call

Berlin-Brandenburg Airport, which serves Germany's capital and the surrounding region, will cancel all flights and traffic on Wednesday after the Verdi union announced a strike for that day.

"Please contact your airline or tour operator for information on rebooking and alternative travel options," the airport posted on X.

Verdi called the strike amid a pay dispute with public-sector employers.

"In the second round of negotiations, the employers put forward an offer that [Verdi's] bargaining committee rejected as unacceptable," Verdi said.
