Europe will face major travel disruptions tomorrow, March 24, as EasyJet pilots and Italian baggage handlers strike across several airports. The 24-hour walkout is set to cause widespread travel frenzy, with hundreds of flights expected to be delayed or canceled. Airports like Milan Malpensa, Rome Fiumicino, and Venice will be heavily impacted, creating chaos for passengers across the continent.

Travelers across Europe are facing a chaotic day tomorrow, March 24, as both EasyJet pilots and Italian baggage handlers plan to strike, causing major travel disruptions. This new wave of industrial action is expected to severely affect hundreds of flights, particularly in key Italian airports.

Strikes Across Italy’s Major Airports

EasyJet pilots and baggage handlers, represented by influential European unions, are set to walk out for a 24-hour strike tomorrow, starting at midnight. The airports most affected include Milan Malpensa (MXP), Rome Fiumicino (FCO), Naples (NAP), Catania (CTA), and Venice (VCE).

Baggage handlers from Assohandlers, Italy’s largest ground handling service provider, will join in the action. Assohandlers works with multiple major carriers, including EasyJet, Ryanair, and Wizz Air, meaning travelers from these airlines will face significant delays.

EasyJet Faces Dual Threat

EasyJet, one of the largest airlines in the world, will be hit particularly hard. With 347 aircraft and operations across 1,099 routes in 35 countries, the airline faces serious operational challenges due to the strikes. The airline carried 27.6 million passengers in Q4 of 2024, and with flights disrupted by both pilot and baggage handler strikes, this number could be significantly affected.

While EasyJet has backup plans in place, such as using non-striking or standby pilots, the disruption to ground services due to the baggage handler strike could lead to delays, cancellations, and missed connections, as the airline struggles to maintain operations across its network.

Expected Travel Disruptions

The strikes will likely lead to widespread travel chaos tomorrow, particularly for those flying to or from Italy. Delays at check-in, security, and baggage claim are expected. Passengers flying with EasyJet or other affected airlines are urged to check flight statuses and remain updated on potential cancellations.

The combined impact of the EasyJet pilots’ and Italian baggage handlers’ strike represents a significant disruption to air travel, potentially causing ripple effects across Europe, particularly in Italy. Travelers should prepare for a day of major travel frenzy as flights are grounded or delayed due to the strike.
