A one-day strike is planned at Lufthansa on February 12, 2026, which is expected to lead to widespread flight cancellations and delays across the group’s entire route network.
The Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) pilots’ union has announced a 24-hour protest from 00:01 to 23:59 local time. The strike will affect flights departing from German airports and operated by the main airline Lufthansa, as well as Lufthansa Cargo. The reason is a dispute over the terms of corporate pension plans for approximately 4,800 pilots.
At the same time, the UFO flight attendants’ union announced its own action, which, according to Reuters, concerns the regional carrier Lufthansa CityLine and is related to a labor dispute over restructuring and negotiations on a social package.
In a service message to its partners, Lufthansa indicated that it expects “extensive cancellations” and recommends that passengers check their flight status in advance. It also notes that flights operated by a number of the group’s airlines and partners – Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, SWISS, Air Dolomiti, Discover Airlines, Edelweiss, and Lufthansa City Airlines — should not be affected, and normal schedules are expected to resume on February 13.
Lufthansa also reminds passengers that if a domestic flight within Germany or a flight between Germany and Basel is canceled, tickets can be exchanged for Deutsche Bahn train tickets.
AgriAcademy is now accepting registrations for a new free practice-oriented course, “The Application of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Agricultural Production,” designed for representatives of small and medium-sized agricultural businesses, agricultural enterprise managers, agricultural consultants, and technology specialists.
The course was created by a team from the non-governmental organization “Club of Experts,” which participated in an open competition for proposals to develop online training courses held by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine in 2025 with the aim of overcoming the shortage of professional knowledge and skills in the agricultural sector, food and processing industries, with a focus on representatives of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in Ukraine.
The agricultural sector is entering a phase where competitiveness is determined not only by production technologies, but also by the quality of data processing. While a few years ago AI was perceived as an experimental technology, today it is becoming a basic tool for managing yields, resources, risks, and market strategies. The new course helps to move from a theoretical understanding of AI to practical implementation with measurable economic results.
