Air Traffic Control Strikes in Europe

[Pushka]

Flying out of Spain on Wed heading home - fingers crossed!

And yes, it’s getting hot here!

I've read on a cruise forum of someone being stuck in Venice for 3 days.

Probably not the best place to be stuck….

Americans seem just to want to get home after the cruise, usually on the day. . Venice flooded with tourists and heat may not be so good. And expensive to boot.

Unless they can stay at the cruise ship, they will struggle to find any accommodation in Venice in current high season. They will have to find it way outside Venice...

Are the impacted BA and AY flights listed somewhere ?

I have been trying t find info on strike dates and which flights are impacted.

Last Wednesday the Times stated "only the Italian ATCs have confirmed a strike date. This will take place for 24 hours on Saturday, July 15, and will involve the main operator ENAV. It is likely to cause cancellations and delays to flights to and from Italy, as well as those flying over Italian airspace. ENAV have however confirmed that there would be no further strikes between July 27 and September 5."

EuroNews says Eurocontrol will give 5 days notice to any strike in July.

I want to know about August!

Why would they want to give that much notice on strikes? The whole point of strikes is to cause disruptions so that the employer comes to the table.

They tend to give notice in UK and Europe. Son always knows three weeks in advance if there's a train strike. They rely on trains. I agree. It's weird.

Italy has an official web site for strikes.

And it's been a week and no further updates on the strikes at Portugal airports. And we're supposed to fly out of there on one of the planned strike days.
