More than 500 flight cancellations expected during today’s Air Traffic Control Strike in Italy

Passengers flying to and from Italy, today, will see their travel plans disrupted due to another air traffic control (ATC) strike. The industrial action is expected to last at least four hours (13:00 till 17:00) with more than 500 flights being cancelled. Passengers will also face delays during the rest of the day when cancellations and delays will have a knock-on effect on other European flights. Airlines are doing their utmost to minimise the impact of the strike and return back to schedule as soon as possible, operate larger airplanes or help with rebookings. Some flights might be also rescheduled
