Transport Disruptions: Strikes at Airports & Rail

The most immediate and widespread problem is indefinite strikes affecting airport ground handling and some air‑traffic services.

Groundforce staff are on an open‑ended strike across 12 major airports, including Alicante, Barcelona, Madrid, Málaga, Palma, Ibiza, Tenerife, Valencia and more. This is causing:

Long delays

Last‑minute cancellations

Baggage handling problems

Congested terminals

Additional disputes involving air‑traffic control and airport staff at regional airports are creating ripple effects across the national network.

Impact: Even flights not directly handled by Groundforce can be delayed due to knock‑on congestion.
