Members of several Italian labour unions are set to walk out on Friday (24 November), while Spanish ground handlers will strike early next month.
The three Italian unions organising the action represent airport and for airline workers, and are demanding improved salaries and workers’ rights, Crisis 24 reports.
Friday’s action will run from 12.01am to 11.59pm, although flights operating between 7am and 10am, and 6pm to 9pm, are guaranteed by law.
However, knock-on delays and cancellations are expected as authorities tackle the backlog of flights. The Foreign Office has advised travellers to seek updates from their booking provider.
