Travellers flying to Italy today have been warned they could face disruption as ground handlers stage industrial action over pay and working conditions.
The industrial action will take place this afternoon between 13:00 and 17:00 local time.
British Airways said the majority of services will run as normal but “regrettably” a small number of flights will be cancelled and some services re-timed to avoid strike periods.
Easyjet said its flights will also be affected.
"We are doing everything possible to minimise the impact to our customers and we have proactively taken the decision to cancel some flights to allow customers to re-organise their travel plans," the airline said.
"All customers on the affected flights will be informed by SMS and email. Up to date information on the situation will also be available on this webpage and on our Flight Tracker."
