Industrial action is planned for 15,16,17, 29,30 and 31 July with members of easyJet staff in Spain expected to walk out.

Members of the Spain USO Union are taking action over pay and working conditions with over 450 cabin crew members called to strike.

USO said: “Spain’s cabin crew has the lowest basic income of all European easyJet hubs.

“If you fly a lot of hours, you end up paying your invoices but reducing your break time and doing a higher number of flight hours.”

An easyJet spokesperson said the airline plans to operate its full schedule and would do everything possible to minimise disruption.

On July 1, four flights were cancelled during the strikes with journeys from London and Birmingham affected.

The strikes scheduled for the end of July could impact British tourists trying to get away for the school holidays.
