Foreign Office warns of Italy flight disruptions

A general strike across Italy is earmarked for November 29 when workers will walk out for eight hours.

Unions are protesting the government’s budget plans.

Ground staff and baggage handlers at several are expected to take part in the industrial action.

It could affect operations at Milan, Rome, Catania and other airports.

“A national general strike is planned for 29 November. If you are due to travel to Italy on this date, check with your travel provider how you may be impacted,” the FCDO said in an update.

Around 50,000 workers are expected to participate in the strike action.
