Berlin - MENA
Lufthansa decided on Tuesday to cancel flight No. 580 for Frankfurt and flight No. 586 for Munich which were scheduled to take off from Cairo International Airport owing to a fresh strike by pilots in a long-running dispute about salaries.
The German airline told its passengers that it cancelled the flights because of the pilots' strike, according to sources at Cairo airport.
Lufthansa has offered to increase the pilots' pay by 4.4 percent in two installments and make a one-off payment worth 1.8 months' pay.
Union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) wants an average annual pay rise of 3.7 percent for 5,400 pilots over a five-year period backdated to 2012.
VC rejected the latest pay offer from Lufthansa and has also rebuffed a bid for mediation.
It is the 14th walkout by pilots since 2014.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
