Spanish Unions are threatening strikes at all the country’s major airports this Easter unless the government reconsiders a decision to sell off parts of Aena.Everyone from cheap airport parking firms to tour operators and hotel chains are closely monitoring developments in Spain as the major airport workers union continues to protest over the proposed sale of parts of Aena.It’s thought likely that the dispute will lead to strike action over the Easter holiday period with current plans amounting to 22 days of walkouts from April 20th onwards. If the 12,500 union members all walk out, then it’s thought that all 47 Spanish airports will be forced to close.UK travellers and tour operators are likely to be among the hardest hit with an estimated 100,000 passengers flying between the UK and Spain each day during peak holiday periods.Airlines including Ryanair have demanded EU action to prevent a repeat of the air travel misery which blighted flights across Europe last year, although Aena says that this time baggage handlers and air traffic controllers will not be affected by the action.Speaking about the proposed disruption in Madrid this week, Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said: “Europe's airlines and passengers suffered at the hands of air traffic control providers throughout 2010.”“Now, ahead of yet another Spanish strike, Ryanair is calling on the EU to take action to prevent further strike action.”“Action must be taken at EU level to ensure that the 'right to strike' is removed from essential airport services, and competition must be introduced across Europe's air traffic control providers to ensure that a strike in one country is not allowed to disrupt millions of passengers' travel plans.”About Looking4Parking.comLooking4Parking is the UK’s fastest growing airport parking price comparison website.
