Italy: Airport staff to strike nationwide on Sept. 8

Event

Airport workers represented by the CUB, UGL, FLAI, FIT, CISL, and USB labor unions plan to strike nationwide for 24 hours on Sept. 8. Unions are demanding increased pay in line with inflation. Further airport staff industrial actions are announced for Sept. 16 and Sept. 29.

The strike will likely lead to passenger processing delays and flight disruptions, including possible cancelations. Disruptions could persist after the strike concludes as carriers work to reposition aircraft. Related demonstrations are possible outside terminal buildings; all such actions will likely remain peaceful.

Advice

Confirm flight status before setting out for affected airports Sept. 8. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Allow additional time to clear passenger processing and airport security procedures.
