Italy: Unionized air traffic controllers to strike at Milan Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) airport, July 21
Air traffic controllers to strike at Milan Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) airport, Italy, from 13:00-17:00 July 21. Flight disruptions likely.
Unionized air traffic control (ATC) staff plan to strike at Milan Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) airport on July 21. Employees of ENAV, Italy's ATC operating company, are demanding improved working conditions. The industrial action is planned for 13:00-17:00; however, disruptions will likely extend before and after this period. Disruptions will likely impact Milan Linate (LIN) airport and may affect Milan Malpensa (MXP).
Air travel disruptions are likely at the listed airports during strike times and may continue several hours after work resumes. The action may prompt passenger processing delays. Picket protests are possible; heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any demonstrations that take shape.
Allow additional time for air travel and terminal passage via the affected airports. Avoid all demonstrations as a standard precaution. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
