Passengers have been warned of possible disruption if they are heading to Spain this summer. Pilots have planned strike action amid ongoing disputes around working conditions.
The Spanish Union of Airline Pilots (SEPLA) is weighing up more industrial action in the summer months due to tensions with the Spanish Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agency. The union is currently unhappy with the “minimum services” law that requires pilots to report to work to service at a minimum 90% of scheduled flights even while engaged in labour action to protest pay rates.
This means that of about 80 scheduled flights per day that airlines have, only about 18-20 flights are cancelled.
