Enav and Techno Sky strike on 30 September: Ita Airways cancels 29% of flights

Flights at risk on Wednesday 30 September, due to strike actions involving ENAV flight controllers at a national and local level in air transport who will cross their arms for 4 hours (from 1pm to 5pm). Ita Airways has announced the cancellation of approximately 29% of the scheduled operations for the day, but inconveniences are also foreseeable for the connections of other airlines.

A four-hour strike by Enav and Techno Sky staff was proclaimed by Uiltrasporti from 1pm to 5pm on 30 September at a national level, and also among Enav flight controllers at the airports of Bologna, Bari, the Rome headquarters on Via Appia Nuova, Linate and Naples. For the Rome headquarters, the Uilt strike concerns the last 4 hours of the working day on September 30th.

Uilt claims that the mobilization arises from the "lack of responses to numerous open disputes and the absence of progress in the confrontation" with ENAV. Among the main reasons behind the protest, Uilt highlights "the failure to renew the supplementary company contract, the loss of workers' purchasing power, staff shortages, critical issues in the organization of shifts and delays in infrastructure investments", as well as "specific problems in various operational offices and at the Rome Headquarters".

Ita Airways invited all travelers who purchased a ticket for the day of the strike to check the status of their flight before going to the airport, on the ita-airways.com website, in the Flight Status section, or by contacting the travel agency where they purchased the ticket.

Passengers who have purchased an Ita Airways ticket to travel on 30 September, in the event of cancellation or change to the time of their flight, will be able to change the booking without any penalty or request a refund of the ticket (only if the flight was canceled or suffered an early departure of more than 60 minutes or a delay of 5 hours or more) no later than 7 October by calling the number +39 06 85960020 from Italy and abroad, or by contacting the travel agency. trip where they purchased the ticket.
