FRANKFURT (REUTERS) - Lufthansa, Germany's largest airline, said it was cancelling 190 flights at its main Frankfurt airport on Tuesday due to a second round of strikes by cabin crew in a row over pay and conditions. Lufthansa said only a handful of long-distance flights would be impacted, while around half of short and medium-distance flights were canceled.
