Tomorrow 17 June, strike of Italian ATC.

Tomorrow 17 June, strike of Italian ATC.

Also Friday 17th June, at 15h00 in Toulouse: Italy-Sweden. So a lot of Italian charters will have to leave Friday early morning. Just wondering if the Italian ATC's will keep them grounded.

[sn26567]

After their 4hr-strike today, Italian ATC want to strike again on July 23; calls on EC to ‘act immediately’.

28 and 29 June : Madrid ATC (details to follow).

Three of Air France's pilot unions have announced a new 4-day strike from 24 to 27 June, again during the Euro 2016. Their previous 4-day strike at the beginning of the Euro 2016 was not a big success: they claimed 70% of the pilots were on strike, but Air France managed to operate 80% of its flights.

While the AF pilots have cancelled their strike from 24 to 27 June, French ATC confirmed their umpteenth strike from today 1700 UTC until Friday 24/06 0400 UTC. Expecting a Ryanair call on the EU....

Brucargo and Liège cargo will be blocked tomorrow apparently

[sn26567]

But the other parts of Brussels Airport should work normally.

Charleroi is more complicated: there might be blockades, hence it is advised to arrive 3 hours in advance.

...Due to baggage handlers' strike in Brussels Zaventem Airport (24 June), Ryanair will not be able to accept any checked-in baggage for flights to/from Brussels Zaventem. Affected customers will receive further details via SMS and email...- sent by Ryanair Customer Services.

Isn't it a bit strange that only the baggage handlers at Brussels Airport are on strike, and not those at Charleroi? Is it because the PS and FGTB, who organize this nationwide strike, don't want that Walloon airports are hit?

Ah the calimero effect is back.

Ah the calimero effect is back.

Apart that it's another confirmation that your dislikes Brussels Airport: the fact that you, as acting PR from the Walloon airports, don't even want to answer my question, confirms that is indeed on purpose. The PS and the FGTB don't want that airports they rule are damaged. So no strike at CRL, no strike at LGG. But at competition airports, like BRU, the PS and FGTB organize a strike.

[Acid-drop]

and again a beautiful calimero answer poor you, everybody is against you.
It's a federal strike (Antwerp is paralized just the same) and it's already mentioned a few post earlier that both BRU and LGG cargo are impacted.

True!! Everybody here is attached to someone who oppose your views and have no right of speech according you and the people who ARE attached to your views can say and bash whatever they want. Sad sad person

Pax traffic also impacted in LGG.

Their flights to/from Brussels seems to have a good yield tomorrow: no cancellations for BRU during this strike.

Ryanair just delayed my flight FR2932 by 2:30. They claim due to ATC strike in France.

Does anybody know if this is correct?
