Lufthansa, the country’s largest carrier, said it would cancel short- and long-haul flights from Munich airport tomorrow until 1200 GMT and 1300 GMT, respectively.
Long-haul flights to Frankfurt are so far not expected to be affected, the airline said.
In a separate statement, Lufthansa’s budget unit Eurowings said it had suspended flight operations at the airports of Hamburg, Berlin, Hanover, Dortmund, Duesseldorf, Cologne and Stuttgart.
