Spanish Airport Strikes

Hi Samwhu,

It appears to be more scaremongering by the British press:

https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2022/08/23/explainer-why-airport-workers-in-spain-are-not-going-on-strike-for-25-days/

In case the link takes you to a paywall, the salient points from the report are:

"There’s one massive problem: the news is five years out of date and refers to an August 2017 union announcement about 25 days of strikes between September and December that year.

"There is no nationwide strike planned for Spanish airports operated by Aena and nothing in the pipeline.

"A press officer for the USO union told the Olive Press: “There are no strikes organised for Aena’s workers and people should not believe this information as it can create confusion for travellers”."

Enjoy your hols! 🙂

Kind regards,

Kim

Thank you, I can't open the article unless I subscribe and pay, but I have herd conflicting info, so appreciate you saying its scaremongering. 

Thanks again for your reply

Thank you for your help, appreciate it.

None of the strikes throughout the summer have affected international flights. The only flights affected were internal Spanish flights.
