On June 26, 2026, a series of coordinated strikes by air traffic control authorities across several European countries is disrupting air travel throughout the continent. The industrial actions involve France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Greece, leading to significant interruptions in European airspace operations.

These simultaneous strike actions have resulted in extensive flight cancellations and delays affecting numerous airports and routes.
