Passengers flying with EasyJet are being warned of significant disruptions as cabin crew across Spain prepare to launch a three-day strike beginning this Wednesday 25th June. The industrial action, organised by the USO union, is scheduled to last through until Friday 27th June. The strike stems from ongoing disputes over pay and working conditions, with union representatives saying staff are demanding fairer wages and improved treatment.
The walkout is expected to affect flights to and from Spanish airports, particularly major ones like Barcelona, Madrid, Málaga, and Palma de Mallorca. EasyJet has not yet confirmed the number of cancellations or delays, but passengers are being advised to check their flight status regularly and prepare for potential changes.
In a statement earlier this month, the USO union said negotiations had failed to reach a satisfactory agreement, leaving staff with “no choice” but to escalate their demands through industrial action. The union has previously highlighted pay disparities between Spanish-based crew and their counterparts in other European countries.
Under EU regulation EC 261/2004, passengers affected by delays or cancellations may be entitled to compensation, refunds, or rebooking options. EasyJet has said it will contact impacted travellers directly. The strike is part of a wider trend of labor unrest across Europe’s aviation sector this summer, as workers push back against stagnating wages amid rising living costs.
Passengers planning to travel during the strike period are urged to monitor EasyJet’s website and app for real-time updates and to allow extra time at the airport.
The airline has not yet indicated whether further strike action may follow if the dispute remains unresolved
