Overview

  • Unions UGT and CCOO called off five strike days scheduled for July 10, 18, 19, 25 and 31 after reaching a last-minute settlement.
  • The agreement secures a wage increase close to the unions’ 16% demand over three years, surpassing the initial 11% offer from Balearic tourism employers.
  • Over 180,000 hotel, gastronomy and nightlife staff will now maintain regular operations in Mallorca throughout July.
  • Late-June walkouts by EasyJet cabin crew led to multiple flight cancellations at Palma Airport, and French air traffic controllers have signaled possible disruptions in early July.
  • Travelers are advised to monitor their flight updates as ongoing aviation labor actions may still affect travel plans to the Balearic Islands.
