Air Europa Pilots Will Begin Strike Tomorrow in Spain

Air Europa pilots will start a strike tomorrow at the Spanish airline and will continue every Monday and Thursday indefinitely, pilots union Sepla said.

Pilots are protesting against Air Europa offering joint services with airline Orbest, according to a spokeswoman for the union, who declined to be named in line with policy.

The Spanish government has imposed minimum services during the strike that will require pilots to cover 50 percent of flights between mainland cities, as well as half the programmed services between mainland airports and European cities, the company said in a statement on its website on Sept. 19. Flights to the Balearic and Canary Islands and transatlantic services won’t be affected, it said.
