Jet2 has issued a warning to holidaymakers travelling to Spain in March and mid-April.
The airline, which flies to a number of European destinations from nine UK airports, including Leeds Bradford Airport, says passengers flying to two airports may need to deal with strike action from ground handling staff. Walkouts are planned at Barcelona and Lanzarote airport three days a week from February 27 until April 13.
There may be disruptions and delays at those airports on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during that period as a result, Jet2.com has warned. The airline says it will "try to keep any disruption to a minimum".

Travellers are advised to check for the latest information on the Jet2 website "at least 12 hours" before their flight and should arrive at the airport at least two hours before their scheduled departure time, the MEN reports.
A statement on the Jet2 website reads "We wanted to let you know that Ground Handling strike action is taking place on 27th February 2023 through to 13th April 2023 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, supported by the Swissport Ground Handling Service in Barcelona and Lanzarote (Arrecife).
"This means that there will not be as many members of staff available at the Airport. If you're affected, rest assured we'll try to keep any disruption to a minimum."
It added: "For up-to-date information, please check this web page again, as well as the departure screens and listen out for any announcements. We'll have you on your way as soon as we can."
Foreign travel advice for Spain on the GOV.UK website states: "Disruption to flights may occur because of possible strike action. You should consult your airline or tour operator for updates prior to travel."
