More than half a million travelers faced severe disruptions as workers at 13 major German airports, including the key Frankfurt and Munich hubs, launched a strategic 24-hour strike on Monday.

The nationwide walkout, organized by the Verdi trade union, brought Germany's aviation network to a virtual standstill, forcing the cancellation of thousands of flights and highlighting the growing tensions between labor groups and airport operators.

The influence was particularly severe at Frankfurt Airport, Germany's busiest aviation hub, where an unprecedented 94 percent of flights were grounded, with 1,054 out of 1,116 scheduled operations canceled and ripple effects threatening to extend into Tuesday's operations, reported German news agency dpa, citing airport traffic management.
