Images of cancelled flights and long queues at Frankfurt airport where German national carrier Lufthansa says it will have to cancel almost all flights because of a planned strike by ground crew. More than 1,000 flights will be scrapped, affecting around 134,000 passengers. The strike is scheduled to last from 0145 GMT on Wednesday until 0400 GMT on Thursday and comes as ground workers seek a higher pay rise than the one offered by Lufthansa so far. IMAGES
