Italy-based crews that are members of three different unions will be taking part in action on Monday afternoon. Trains and buses in the country will also be affected.

The airline said: “EasyJet has been formally advised of a four-hour strike action by some Italian pilots’ unions on Monday 24 February 2025 from 12pm to 4pm local time. 

“We plan to operate our full flying programme but we advise customers travelling on 24 February to check the status of their flights on our Flight Tracker page or manage their bookings using our disruption portal on our mobile app or website."

The airline did not provide details of the dispute.
