European airports are in the midst of another busy summer as passenger numbers globally recover to pre-pandemic levels, while airline and airport staff continue to negotiate on wages.
As of July 4, Iberia said on its website that flights could be affected and offered flexible fares for some passenger travelling until July 6 on routes operated by Air Nostrum. Air Europa pilots in Spain also went on a two-week strike on June 19.
Air traffic control strikes, wage talks, and continuous strikes by airport staff may cause disruptions this summer. While security workers at Heathrow Airport have canceled their planned strikes, around 100 staff at Birmingham Airport are set to begin continuous strike action from July 18, leading to flight delays. French ATC strikes have canceled flights and led airlines to reduce flights by 20% at six other airports.
