Security workers staged a full-day walkout at six airports including Duesseldorf, Cologne/Bonn and Berlin on Monday, and one-day strikes have also been called for other airports on Tuesday including Frankfurt and Hamburg.
The walkout by security staff has resulted in a high three-digit number of flight cancellations, German airports association ADV said.
Some 160 of them were at Duesseldorf airport, accounting for more than half of the planned 290 departures and arrivals, the airport said. At Cologne/Bonn, 94 out of 136 flights were called off, and Berlin airport's website also showed many cancelled flights.
Tuesday's walkout will hit Germany's busiest airport, Frankfurt, which handled around 2.1 million passengers last month.
Lufthansa, Germany's flagship carrier, which has a hub at Frankfurt, said it was cancelling 48 flights on Tuesday.
