Italy strike warning, flights could be hit
Airlines are warning passengers of possible flights cancellations and delays on Friday due to a national strike in Italy.
The strike could affect some airport services, including ground handling.
"We’re working to minimise the impact of this strike, but like other airlines flying to and from Italy, we are expecting a number of cancellations and potential delays," said easyJet. "Any customers on affected flights will be contacted via email and SMS.
"Although this situation is outside our control, we do understand that it can be a very frustrating situation for all customers travelling."
The strike, which also involved Alitalia personnel, is due to last the whole day, from midnight to midnight.
