Yesterday’s strike by Iberia’s ground staff, involving unions USO, CCOO, and UGT, caused significant delays and baggage issues at Ibiza airport for flights from Barcelona. The strike, part of a four-day action, aimed to influence Iberia’s handling of its flights at certain airports. Iberia reported improvements in baggage handling throughout the day, with an 18% strike participation rate. Despite the disruptions, flight punctuality remained at 80%, with some flights to Ibiza preemptively canceled.

Union members expressed concerns over potential loss of benefits and unfair treatment in this transition.
