Dubai-bound Emirates flights from Hamburg and Frankfurt, which were supposed to depart today, have been rescheduled due to strikes in Germany. One flight (EK060) was cancelled.

In an advisory, the Dubai-based carrier listed the flights that were affected as aviation security staff joined the picket line. Two unions called for two-day walkouts over wages and work conditions.

Affected passengers are advised to contact the airline or their travel agents for rebooking options.
