A strike at Hamburg airport in Germany this yesterday, one day before the one already called by the Ver.di union at several German commercial airports for today, Monday, March 10, 2025, has affected forty operations, including those at Alicante-Elche airport, of departing flights (20) and arrivals (20) to Spain.
The Spanish airports that were impacted by the strike in Hamburg had scheduled operations in Gran Canaria, Palma de Mallorca, Madrid, Barcelona, Fuerteventura, Tenerife, Alicante, La Palma, Malaga, and Bilbao, according to Aena sources who spoke to Europa Press.
The strike has been called yesterday “without prior notice” and “immediately” by ver.di, according to Hamburg Airport.
Ver.di has also called for a strike in a number of airport operations, including passenger security checks and aircraft handling, today Monday, March 10th. As a result, the airport stated that while passenger departures are not possible arrivals are, but significant difficulties and cancellations are likely.
According to the German services union’s website, the strikes at German airports are intended to put more pressure on employers from the Federal Association of Aviation Security Companies (BDLS) in collective bargaining talks that have recently stalled in order to improve working conditions for the roughly 25,000 workers in the aviation security industry.
