Europe airline and train strike 🪧

Don't be caught unaware: European airports and trains are set to strike this spring.

Workers across Europe are demanding pay raises in line with growing inflation. As a result, there's currently a wave of workplace disputes across the travel industry, which could mean a bumpy few months of strikes, delays and cancellations.

Here’s a brief rundown of when and where; visit the link below to read more.

💂 Heathrow Airport strikes
When: March 31 to April 9
Some 3,000 employees working at Terminal 5 in London's Heathrow Airport (LHR) — including security guards, engineers and firefighters — will stage walkouts in a long-running dispute with Heathrow Airport Holdings Limited over pay.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom Border Force strikes
When: April 28
Border Force staff at airports across Britain will walk out in the latest in a chain of strike action by around 130,000 civil service workers. If the last strike on March 15 is anything to go by, up to 2,000 flights could be affected.

🇪🇸 Ground staff strikes in Spain
When: March 13-14, 16, 20-21, 23, 27-28, 30; and April 3-4, 6, 10-11, 13.
Ground staff working for Swissport International Ltd. at 17 airports in Spain are in the thick of a coordinated strike action taking place every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday until April 13.

🚊 UK rail strike
When: March 16, 18, 30 and April 1
On March 22, the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers suspended its planned strike at Network Rail for the above dates after reaching a pay deal with the operator. However, the strike will still go ahead for RMT members working at 14 other train companies.

🇩🇪 German airport strikes
When: Ongoing
German airport workers have already unleashed a wave of walkouts this year, causing havoc to timetables and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights.

🇫🇷 French air traffic control strikes
These strikes could potentially affect more travelers than any other this year. That’s because air traffic control strikes don’t only affect planes landing in or departing in the country where they’re happening but planes using its airspace as well.
