Well day 1 of the Iberia strike has passed, and we’re now into day 2 of it.
Firstly, today’s listed cancellations are at here (from Iberia.com).
Meanwhile protests by striking workers have been met with riot police at Madrid, adding extra chaos to the situation by blocking access roads to the airport.
Iberia is faced with high costs, and is trying to cut them via the wage bill as well as route cuts. Current plans for 3807 workers to be made redundant along with wage cuts isn’t exactly going down well.
If you’ve got plans to be near Madrid Airport, Iberia advise:
“We recommend that all passengers arrive at the airport in advance with their boarding cards which can be found at Check-in Online. At Madrid Barajas T4, we also recommend that you stay close to the airport or arrive by metro to avoid any later problems accessing the airport. “
Good luck if you’re travelling today.
