BERLIN, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Strikes by ground staff at German flag carrier Lufthansa disrupted traffic at five airports on Wednesday, affecting more than 100,000 passengers in Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin and Dusseldorf.

At Germany's largest airport, Frankfurt airport, up to 90 percent of 600 arrivals and departures were canceled. While Munich and Dusseldorf were less affected, none of the planned Lufthansa flights in the capital Berlin, as well as in Hamburg, were able to take off.
