Strike action on Friday could lead to disruption in Italy’s airports.
Passengers flying to, from or in Italy face potential travel disruption on Friday 26 September due to a 24-hour strike affecting the air transport sector.
The nationwide protest, called by the CUB Trasporti and USB trade unions in protest against contractual and working conditions, is set to involve airline and airport staff.
Baggage handlers employed by Assohandlers are to stage a four-hour walkout across Italy from 10.00 to 14.00.
Also on Friday, pilots and cabin crews employed by low-cost carriers Volotea and Wizz Air Malta will go on strike for 24 hours in protest over pay and workers’ rights.
Italy’ civil aviation authority ENAC reminds air travellers that during strikes in Italy flights scheduled between 07.00-10.00 and 18.00-21.00 are guaranteed.
Full details of guaranteed flights on 26 September are published on the ENAC website.
Passengers flying in Italy on Friday are urged to contact their airline, tour operator or travel agent.
