Spain: Iberia strikes at Barcelona Airport canceled /update 1

Event

Strikes by workers at Iberia, Spain's flag carrier airline, initially scheduled to take place at Barcelona-El Prat International Airport (BCN) on July 27-28 and August 3-4 have been called off to facilitate negotiations. Therefore, normal airport and flight operations are to be anticipated.

Further strikes by the airline's personnel are possible in the coming weeks should negotiations break down. Such a strike would impact check-in services, baggage handling, and aircraft maintenance for Iberia and its partners, which include Vueling, American Airlines, Air China, Turkish Airlines, Latam, and Avianca.

Advice

Travelers are advised to confirm the status of their flights prior to departure for the airport in the coming weeks as a precaution.
