Back to EpisodesSpain Airport Strikes: Easter Travel Chaos for UK Holidaymakers
Description
UK holidaymakers heading to Spain for Easter face significant travel disruptions due to upcoming airport strikes by ground staff. Around 3,000 workers at Menzies Aviation Iberica and Menzies Ground Services plan walkouts from March 28th to April 6th, affecting key airports like Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Malaga, Alicante, and the Canary Islands. Disputes over pay and working conditions have led to these strikes, with Groundforce workers also starting indefinite strikes from March 27th. Travelers should expect delays, long queues, and baggage holdups at airports like Madrid-Barajas, Malaga-Costa del Sol, Alicante-Elche, Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona-El Prat, and Seville. Spanish officials may enforce minimum service levels, but travelers are advised to monitor flight updates closely as the situation unfolds.
