Lufthansa agrees with cabin crew on no-frills service: source

FRANKFURT: Lufthansa on Tuesday struck an agreement with cabin crew union UFO over work conditions and pay at the German airline's proposed new low-cost long haul business, a person familiar with the talks told Reuters on Tuesday.

A Lufthansa spokeswoman said the airline was happy to have come to an agreement with UFO over an "important collective bargaining matter" but declined to specify.

Lufthansa Chief Executive Carsten Spohr in July unveiled plans to offer no-frills long haul flights under a new brand to battle competition from Middle East carriers and low cost airlines.
