EasyJet has been forced to cancel flights to and from Amsterdam this morning as pilots carried out a four-hour strike in disputes over sick leave pay, rest time and pensions.
The airline issued a statement saying: "This is detrimental to our passengers travelling through the airport.
"We are particularly disappointed by this unnecessary action because we already achieved significant improvements in a fair and market based collective agreement for our members."
Pilots union VNV told Dutch news agency ANP: "We are determined to conclude a fair collective bargaining agreement for EasyJet pilots, even if it means that the conflict and the resulting operational disruptions drag on for months."
