Passengers impacted during the latest wave of strikes by easyJet Spain-based cabin crew should be entitled to compensation, a consumer group has revealed. Which? has advised travellers to be aware of their rights if flights are delayed or cancelled during the pay dispute.
Around 450 workers were expected to stage a walk out at Barcelona's El Prat airport, as well as in Malaga and Palma de Mallorca, with further stoppages planned for July 29-31. Ryanair workers based at some Spanish airports have also been on strike this week, with more action planned for the next fortnight.
Which? said customers should be compensated as soon as possible and should not be left out of pocket. Guy Hobbs, Editor of Which? Travel, said: “Strikes by airline staff are within the airline’s control, so if your flight is significantly delayed or cancelled because of this then you’ll likely be entitled to compensation.
