Many flights were canceled in Italy due to a warning strike

In Italy many flights were canceled on Sunday due to a warning strike, according to Handelsblatt. More than 200 flights were canceled at airports across the country. This mainly affected domestic connections, as reported on the websites of the major airports.

But also passengers who wanted to go from Milan to Frankfurt or Berlin could not take their flight. At Rome’s airports, connections outside Italy to Paris, Amsterdam, London or Zurich were cancelled, among others.

The reason for the cancellations was the call of several Italian unions for a four-hour work stoppage. Air traffic control company Enav and airlines Ryanair, Easyjet and Volotea were on strike, according to union confederations. The airlines said they had notified affected customers in advance.

There is a dispute between companies and unions over workers’ rights, working conditions and the payment of minimum wages in the industry. According to Enav, the warning strike was to last from 14:00 to 18:00. He said flights between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. they will not be affected.
