British Airways has announced the cancellation of a “small number of flights” to Italy today (30 May), due to a 24-hour strike by Italian ground handling staff.
BA flights to and from Milan Linate, Venice and Bologna have all been affected.
“We are doing all we can to minimise the effects of the industrial action. We have re-timed a number of flights and are also using larger aircraft where possible,” the airline said.
The action, over pay and working conditions, takes place alongside an SEA, airport and ground handling staff strike at Milan airports from 1300 to 1700 local time.
Some Ryanair and Easyjet flights to Italy have also been cancelled. Ryanair confirmed more than 25 flights to Italian airports have been cancelled and Easyjet said it would be informing its customers via SMS and email of disrupted flights.
All airlines advised to keep checking websites for further updates.
