The CGT union section at Groundforce Barcelona is calling for a strike starting tonight, at 00:00, at the airport. BarcelonaThe movement will affect ground support staff, passenger check-in and boarding, as well as flight coordination. It must denounce the deterioration of working health conditions.
Air France is among the many airlines that use Groundforce's services in Barcelona, as do KLM, Air Europa, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, Qatar Airways, Finnair, and ITA Airways.
It's still unknown what the impact of the strike will be, and especially its duration. But during this summer period, which sees many tourists flocking to the Barcelona hub, it's best to anticipate by checking your flight status before departure.
Barcelona El Prat, along with eight other Spanish airports, had already been disrupted by strike action in mid-April. However, that action had been initiated by air traffic controllers.
