Lufthansa pilot strikes are set to continue this week, after failing to reach an agreement on its pay dispute with the airline.

The latest round of strikes will affect short-haul flights on Tuesday, Nov 29, and short- and long-haul flights out of Germany on Wednesday, Nov 30, Reuters reports.

Lufthansa said it would have a special flight schedule by Monday 28, and services would resume as scheduled.

The airline was forced to cancel nearly 2,800 flights last week during a four-day strike from Wednesday that affected more than 350,000 passengers, the 14th walkout in a dispute that since early 2014 has cost the carrier hundreds of millions of euros, according to Reuters.

The pilots have rejected the latest pay offer from Lufthansa late on Friday, adding the threat of extending its strike beyond Saturday.
