At least 150,000 passengers will be affected, he added.
Other airports that will be affected on Monday are those of Stuttgart, Cologne/Bona Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Hanover, Bremen, Hamburg, Berlin and Leipzig-Halle.
The company that manages Germany’s air traffic, DFS, said it would not be directly affected by strikes.

Employers rejected the requests, arguing that the expense for their satisfaction would be excessive for them.
The negotiations are expected to continue later this month.
