Overview

• Greek air traffic controllers will stage a 24-hour strike on April 9, halting all commercial flights at Athens International Airport, with limited exceptions for essential services.
• The Adedy union called the Greek strike to protest scrapped bonuses and demand wage increases, though Aegean Airlines noted the strike could be suspended pending a court ruling.
• EasyJet cabin crew in Italy will strike for four hours on April 9, affecting flights at Milan and Naples airports, with some disruptions expected despite mitigation efforts.
• Additional industrial actions include strikes at Heathrow involving passenger assistance staff and British Airways cleaners, as well as a six-week strike notice by French rail workers starting April 17.
• Passengers are advised to check flight statuses, as these disruptions are classified as 'extraordinary circumstances,' limiting compensation eligibility but maintaining airlines' duty of care.
