Warning strikes in Italy: Air travelers have to be prepared for delays

And again the patience of the air travelers is required. Enav air traffic control staff stopped working at all Italian airports on Sunday. This also applies to employees of the low-cost airlines Ryanair, Easyjet and Volotea. Several flights have already been cancelled.

Due to planned work stoppages at Italian airports, travelers have to be prepared for delays and cancellations of numerous flights on Sunday. Several unions called on the staff of air traffic control Enav and the low-cost airlines Ryanair, Easyjet and Volotea to the four-hour warning strike.

This emerges from the announcements of the trade union federations. The reason is the dispute over employee rights, working conditions and the payment of minimum wages in the industry. Due to the nationwide strike, Easyjet has already canceled the connection from Milan Linate Airport to Berlin or from Rome-Fiumicino to Amsterdam.

Ryanair said it was forced to cancel some flights because of the Enav strike. The passengers have already been informed. According to Enav, the walkout will last from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The flights in the periods between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. are not affected.
