ITA Airways cancels 24 flights due to strike.

Air travellers in Italy face disruption on Tuesday 28 May due to strikes by ground staff at several airports and flight crews from Air Dolomiti and Wizzair.

The industrial action will involve baggage handling and security staff staging a 24-hour strike at Linate and Malpensa in Milan as well as at airports in Venice, Verona and Lamezia Terme.

Wizzair flight crews will strike for four hours on Tuesday, from 13.00 to 17.00, while their counterparts at Air Dolomiti are scheduled to strike for the whole day.
