Urgent cancelled flights warning to anyone flying to Italy – starts May 11

A number of flights are being cancelled in Italy today as strike action sweeps major airports. Air traffic control staff at the Rome Control Center plan to halt operations from 10 am to 6pm, a move expected to disrupt nearly all flights passing through central Italy, including departures, arrivals, and overflights.

Workers at ENAV Naples will join the strike during the same eight‑hour window, adding further strain to air traffic across the region. A four‑hour strike is scheduled at Palermo Airport from 12p.m. to 4pm., involving staff from GH Palermo, ASC Handling, and Aviapartner Palermo.

At the same time, EasyJet pilots and flight attendants are set to stage an eight‑hour walkout from 10am to 6pm. Due to the wider disruption across Italy’s air transport sector, ENAV ITA Airways has already announced that it has been forced to cancel around 38% of its flights for the day.
