Twelve major Spanish airports to be impacted by ‘indefinite’ strikes

Menzies
  • Holidaymakers travelling to Spain this Easter face significant disruption due to an "indefinite" strike by airport ground staff.
  • The industrial action, involving Groundforce and Menzies employees, began on Monday, 30 March, affecting 12 major airports, including Barcelona, Madrid, and Alicante.
  • The strikes are a result of an ongoing pay dispute between the staff and their employers.
  • Groundforce staff will strike on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during specific time slots, while Menzies baggage handlers have additional 24-hour strikes planned from 2 to 6 April.
  • This follows previous disruptions in September when security staff strikes at Madrid-Barajas airport led to lengthy queues and missed flights.
