A strike by Verdi union members over a pay dispute grounded all flights at Berlin Brandenburg Airport on March 18, 2026, canceling 445 flights and disrupting travel for about 57,000 passengers.
The walkout, involving around 2,000 employees in critical roles, began at 6 a.m. and lasted through the day, with operations expected to resume normally on Thursday.
The union is demanding a 6% wage increase, a minimum monthly raise of 250 euros, and an additional day off.
Airport officials called the strike disproportionate, especially amid ongoing global tensions, and warned of millions in economic losses.
A new round of negotiations is scheduled for March 25.
