Spain’s airspace has re-opened after the majority of its air traffic controllers returned to work.
The workers had staged a wildcat strike over the weekend but the country’s government quickly reacted by calling a state of alert.
This meant workers would face prosecution if they refused to work and the military took over control of airports.
According to officials, around 250,000 people were impacted by the walk-out, which was in protest over over working hours and conditions.
Although airports are now re-open, travellers were warned that disruption could continue into Monday.
Around 20,000 Brits are believed to have been stranded by the strike.
Ryanair, Iberia and other airlines cancelled all flights on Saturday but normal services have now been resumed.
