UAE travel: Emirates, Etihad cancel flights as Germany airport staff walk out:
The Frankfurt Airport 'strongly advised' passengers not to travel throughout the day as significant disruptions to operations were expected
The UAE's top airlines on Friday cancelled their flights to and from German airports as workers carry out a strike over pay.
Dubai's flagship carrier Emirates has advised its customers that its trips to and from Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich today (February 17) have been cancelled due to the industrial action.
"Emirates regrets any inconvenience caused. Affected customers should contact their booking agents or the local Emirates office for rebooking options," the airline said in a statement.
The UAE's national airline Etihad Airways also said the strike has affected its flights to and from Frankfurt and Munich.
"We regret any inconvenience caused by these cancellations, which are due to circumstances beyond our control," it said. "Guests booked on these services are being assisted with their travel arrangements."

"We regret any inconvenience caused by these cancellations, which are due to circumstances beyond our control," it said. "Guests booked on these services are being assisted with their travel arrangements."
Etihad said it is adding extra flights while offering passengers travel options to other European destinations.
The strikes at seven German airports, including Frankfurt, Munich and Hamburg, affected almost 300,000 passengers and forced airlines to cancel more than 2,300 flights.
In a tweet, the Frankfurt Airport "strongly advised" passengers not to travel throughout the day as significant disruptions to operations were expected.
