Volotea staff strike over union recognition and easyJet staff walkout could disrupt flights affecting 10,000 passengers, with contingency plans in place, airlines say.
- On Friday , easyJet and Volotea staff are due to strike, with easyJet staff striking 1pm–5pm local time and British travellers warned of possible disruption affecting 10,000 passengers.
- Uiltrasporti says the walkout follows failed talks that began on October 3rd and 14th and ended without agreement on October 22nd over Volotea's refusal to recognise their union.
- EasyJet's network, anchored at Milan Malpensa, covers more than 20 Italian destinations, while Volotea operates flights to 24 airports across Italy, raising disruption risks.
- The airline confirmed contingency plans and offered support options, saying it is not anticipating any major delays and that passengers may receive overnight accommodation if needed.
- Passengers may be eligible for EC261 compensation if their flight arrives more than three hours late, is canceled within 14 days, or they are denied boarding; visit the easyJet website for guidance, noting `Extraordinary circumstance` exclusions.
