BERLIN: Pilots for all long-haul flights at German airline Lufthansa will strike on Tuesday from 8am to midnight, the pilots' union announced.
Cargo flights will also be affected.
The union, Vereinigung Cockpit, warned last week that it was considering a walkout after wage and retirement talks with the airline collapsed, according to the German (dpa) News Agency.
Lufthansa pilots have walked off the job 12 times since April 2014 to protest the airline's cost-cutting measures. The strike action has cost the company more than 300 million euros about ($338.4m).
The union said the executive board rejected its offer for an "alliance for growth and employment." It offered cost cuts of 500 million euros about ($563m), the union said.
