More than 600 EasyJet cabin crew to walk out causing chaos for thousands of holidaymakers

First, there are the ongoing protests against mass tourism and Airbnb in Spain, seeing residents turning water pistols on holidaymakers.

And now, yet another hurdle is threatening Britain’s favourite destination for the summer.

EasyJet’s cabin crews in Spain has announced plans to go on strike as the season gets underway.

For three days beginning on June 25, staff will launch the action to bring their working conditions and salaries in line with those of their colleagues in other European bases.

As many as 657 flight attendants who are based in Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga and Palma de Mallorca, could be involved.

The airline intends to operate normally during those days, a spokesperson said, adding that the company would do everything possible to minimise the impact.

EasyJet cabin crews are understood to earn much less in Spain than in other countries.

The union said: ‘The strike’s goal is to level the crews’ working and wage conditions in Spain with the ones at other bases of the company in Europe.’

Regulation in Spain forces airline workers to provide minimum services during labour action, limiting any disruption.
