Italy is preparing for a nationwide 24-hour transport strike set for May 29, 2026. This action is expected to cause significant disruptions across the country’s transport systems, affecting flights, trains, buses, and metro services.
Broad transport and airport strikes planned across Europe in June
Following Italy’s strike, several other European nations, including the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, the UK, Spain, and France, are scheduling major transport strikes in mid-June 2026. These coordinated actions could lead to widespread interruptions across flights, rail networks, and urban public transport services.
Travelers should anticipate potential delays and cancellations during this period affecting a variety of transport modes in Europe. The full extent of the disruptions
will depend on developments as the strike dates approach.
