Indefinite Security Strike at Madrid-Barajas Triggers 95-Minute Waits and Systemwide Delays

Workers seek a Madrid allowance for Barajas duties.

Overview

  • Trablisa’s roughly 800 security staff began an indefinite full-day stoppage after negotiations failed overnight.
  • By 09:00 local time, average waits were about 95 minutes with reports of delays reaching up to an hour and a half.
  • Queues are affecting every terminal, including both standard screening and the fast-track lanes.
  • The Government Delegation in Madrid imposed 100% minimum services as AENA warned travelers about potential delays.
  • AENA deployed auxiliary personnel in metro halls and other areas to redirect passengers toward Terminals 2 and 3 to ease congestion.
