"Groundforce staff are striking on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5am-7am, 11am-5pm and 10pm-12am and are expected to last indefinitely."
"Union sources have warned that, if no agreement is reached, the strikes could be extended to weekends until the end of the year."
"If your flight is cancelled, you're entitled to either a full refund of the ticket or an alternative flight to your destination at the earliest opportunity."
Staff at major airports in Spain, including Barcelona and Madrid, have initiated strikes affecting ground-handling services. The strikes are due to salary disputes, with pay frozen since 2022. Groundforce staff are striking on specific days and times, while Menzies employees will strike daily for a week. The strikes coincide with the busy Easter Holy Week, potentially impacting 1.34 million passengers. Travelers are advised to expect delays and check flight statuses regularly. Rights include refunds or alternative flights for cancellations and vouchers for significant delays.
