Overview
- The union Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) announced the partial, time-limited walkouts on Thursday, July 23, with strikes planned for 28 July and for 1, 4 and 8 August during 07:00–12:00 and 19:00–22:00.
- CCOO says the actions press Swissport to introduce heat-protection measures, raise staffing levels, improve work organisation and apply the sector collective agreement in full.
- Talks between employee representatives and Swissport ended without an agreement but the union says it remains open to further negotiations.
- Spanish minimum-service rules limit how many workers may join the strikes, so authorities and airlines expect delays and longer queues for passengers rather than widespread flight cancellations.
- Swissport handles ground services for carriers including Condor, TUI and Marabu at Palma, so the targeted stoppages during the summer peak could strain check-in, baggage handling and boarding and increase wait times for travellers.
