Transportation chaos in Germany as strikes ground flights and halt trains.

Security workers and ground services at Berlin and Hamburg airports went on a one-day strike over pay, causing disruptions for passengers. Berlin-Brandenburg airport cancelled all departures and some landings, while Hamburg airport's Aviation Handling Services employees, who handle check-in, boarding, and lost and found for airlines including Lufthansa, also called a 24-hour strike at short notice. The strikes are part of a series of disruptive strikes in Germany as unions press for higher wages to offset the surging cost of living.
