On June 18, 2026, airports and airlines across Spain, Italy, France, and Belgium have been significantly affected by a widespread wave of strikes. This event has resulted in notable interruptions to flight schedules throughout these European countries.

As a consequence of the industrial action, many flights were canceled, and severe disruptions at multiple airports caused considerable congestion and travel delays. Passengers faced substantial difficulties as airport operations became strained under the ongoing strike conditions.
