The Lufthansa flights have been grounded because of an ongoing strike of the airline’s pilots.
The cancellations have affected the Frankfurt-Riga flights that were supposed to land in the Latvian capital at 1.05 p.m. and 00.35 a.m., as well as the Riga-Frankfurt flights that had to depart at 6.40 a.m. and 2.05 p.m.
German pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit announced last Sunday further strikes at Lufthansa for Tuesday and Wednesday, after fresh talks at the end of a four-day walkout failed to settle their long-running pay dispute.
Last week, the Lufthansa pilot strike resulted in the cancellation of nearly 2,800 commercial flights, which affected more than 315,000 passengers.
