24-Hour Aviation Strike To Hit Key Italian Hubs On February 26

Passengers flying to, from, and within Italy are set to face considerable disruption later this week, following the announcement of a one-day strike on Thursday, February 26, 2026. While local regulations mean that some flights will escape disruption, specifically those on certain routes or at certain times of the day, many are still set to be cancelled, with Italian flag carrier ITA Airways shelving over half of its scheduled Thursday flights.
