Italian ATC to strike again July 23; calls on EC to ‘act immediately’
Italian air traffic controllers will strike again Saturday, July 23, which could result in numerous flight cancellations during one of the busiest summer holiday travel days, A4E said. “It is unacceptable that airlines and their customers can be repeatedly punished by these unjustified strikes. The EC and govts must act immediately to protect the rights of millions of European travellers,” A4E MD Thomas Reynaert said. The latest ATC strikes in Greece, Italy, Belgium and France since March have caused nearly 3,000 cancellations among A4E members and more than 1m minutes of delay (more than 16,000 hours) across all airlines operating in European airspace. In 2015, more than 10,000 flights operated by A4E members were affected by 28 days of ATC strikes in Europe. <br/>
