Spain Airport Strikes Partly Postponed With Easter Disruption Still Likely

Union talks yielded a pause to the first walkouts.

Overview

  • Spanish press report unions have called off the first Groundforce day and the March 28–29 Menzies strikes after progress in wage talks.
  • The 24-hour Menzies stoppages for April 2–6 remain scheduled at Tenerife North, Tenerife South and Gran Canaria.
  • Groundforce still plans walkouts in three daily windows on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at airports including Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
  • Authorities are expected to set minimum service levels, with reports near 59% for key routes at Málaga and Seville, though travellers still face queues and baggage delays.
  • Unions cite unpaid wages, payroll errors and disputed pay scales, and they warn of weekend strikes through December if no deal is reached.
