Spain: Workers at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernandez Airport (ALC) plan to strike Aug. 2-3

Event

Labor groups call for Information Systems Department (DSI) workers at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernandez Airport (ALC) to strike Aug. 2-3 to denounce deteriorating working conditions. Unions are demanding new computer equipment, specific training for new technology roles, and increased staff to meet current demands.

If the action goes ahead, it will likely prompt longer waiting times for check-in and baggage claims. The walkout could also result in flight disruptions, including delays and cancellations. Lingering disruptions are possible after the strike ends as services and flight schedules normalize, and airlines work to clear any backlogs.

Advice

Confirm flight status if booked to fly through ALC Aug. 2-3. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Allow additional time to reach the airport and for check-in procedures.
