More than 15,000 road transport workers in Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura will down tools from Monday (2 October) throughout the whole month – including on 4, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23, 25 and 28 October – after negotiations over salary increases broke down at the weekend.
The government has nevertheless assured minimum service levels will be guaranteed, with transportation to hospitals and medical centres maintained.
“If you are on holiday in Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura and needing to travel or use road transport, we encourage you to contact your tour operator or transport company as soon as possible for more information to understand how this strike may impact your travel arrangements,” the Foreign Office said.
Meanwhile, Jet2 told customers to "allow plenty of time to travel to the airport".
