ENAV staff at Brindisi & Bari, Air Dolomiti crew, and Orio al Serio baggage handlers. Sixth major Italian aviation disruption since February. Below-inflation wages unresolved — no end in sight.

SAS scrapping ~1,200 flights after jet fuel prices doubled in 10 days. Mostly short-haul Norway, Sweden & Denmark. Rising fuel costs are a commercial decision — not an extraordinary circumstance under EU261.

Multiple 24-hour general strikes in early 2026 — ATC staff joined walkouts that shut Athens Airport completely. Unions fighting the government’s 13-hour workday law. Taxi, rail, ferry & flight shutdowns with little warning.
