Europe's travel strikes: Flight and train disruption you can expect in September
13.09.2024 - 02:58 / euronews.com
Strikes are a regular occurrence in Europe, as employees withhold their labour to fight for better pay and conditions.
Walkouts are sometimes planned months ahead but others are announced last minute, showing that it always pays to check before you travel.
Luckily, we have gathered all of the strike information together below.
Read on to find out where and when are walkouts taking place.
If your flight or train is cancelled or delayed, you will be entitled to a new ticket or compensation. Read our guide for the full details.
Brussels South Charleroi Airport will face disruption on 12 September as a 24-hour strike forces flight cancellations and delays.
Passengers whose flights are going ahead as planned have been advised to travel with hand luggage only, as the airport cannot guarantee the handling of checked baggage. They should also arrive earlier than usual to account for long queues.
Check-in and aircraft refuelling could also be affected as employees push for improved working conditions.
Delays could continue into 13 September.
Public transport workers at Carris, which operates Lisbon's buses, trams and funiculars, plan to walk out on 18 September.
The strike is expected to begin at 10pm the night before and end at midnight, unless it is called off following talks with the transport operator.
Minimum services for disabled people, safety and emergency services will still run.
Public transport passengers in Italy may face delays and cancellations on 20 September as a 24-hour strike takes place.
Staff at bus, tram and commuter train operators around the country plan to walk out over pay and working conditions.
If you know of a big strike happening in your country that we have missed, we'd love to hear from you via Twitter.
