Unionized security staff commence intermittent strike action at Alicante-Elche Airport, Spain, Aug. 1-4. Airport disruptions likely.
Unionized security staff commence strike action at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernandez Airport (ALC), Aug. 1-4. Labor unions plan the work stoppages for 08:30-09:30 and 18:00-19:00 each day. Local authorities advise passengers to allow additional time for airport processing.
The industrial action will likely prompt passenger processing delays and may lead to additional queues and possible flight disruptions at ALC. Striking workers may form pickets at the airport entrance. Lingering disruptions are possible for several hours after the end of the strike period.
Reconfirm all flights via ALC through Aug. 5. Allow extra time for airport processing and security checks. Do not check out of accommodation until onward travel is confirmed.
