Brits set to face travel issues at major Spanish airport this week - see why

Palma Airport in Majorca is set for a 24-hour strike this Wednesday, June 17, potentially extending long security queues at Son Sant Joan as workers who assist passengers with reduced mobility walk off the job. The action follows a rejection of a latest offer from contractor Adelte by 96% of the 151 participants, per Majorca Daily Bulletin. The disruption threatens peak-summer travel at one of Spain’s busiest holiday hubs, with a planned Saturday demonstration by union members. For British travelers, millions fly to Palma from UK hubs including Gatwick, Stansted, Heathrow, Luton and Southend, among others, complicating a summer already bearing the impact of the EU’s biometric Entry-Exit System rollout.
