Spain: Flight disruptions at Santiago-Rosalia de Castro Airport, May 16-17
Strike by airport personnel at Santiago-Rosalia de Castro Airport (SCQ), Galicia, Spain, May 16-17.
Flight delays and cancellations are ongoing at Santiago-Rosalia de Castro Airport (SCQ) due to a spontaneous Iberia (IB) airport personnel strike on May 16. The strike was reportedly caused by a sudden increase in traffic at SCQ due to redirected flights, prompted by repair works at Vigo Airport (VGO). Iberia airport workers walked out from 12:00 May 16 and will likely continue to strike through May 17.
Flight disruptions and cancellations are ongoing in SCQ; further delays and cancellations are likely through May 17. Lingering disruptions will likely persist in the hours following the end of the strike as carriers reposition aircraft and work through passenger backlogs.
Reconfirm flight status and schedule if booked to fly via SCQ and VGO through at least early May 18. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed.
