Five Day Airport Strike

[TerryW]

I hope this isn't true. Crazy if it is and a great way of losing money from tourism.

Thanks Sonia for the info. We are arriving on the 27th for our second visit and we will keep our fingers crossed that all goes well for everyone travelling to the wonderful Arillas.

I can see their point but inconveniencing the people that bring in much needed cash into their country doesn't seem the way, because no matter how much we love the place, travellers will not put up with this for long.
We arrive on Monday 20th so will send as much info as poss.
I've got a feeling that luggage collection will be the area that's hit.

Oh dear.......... We fly on the 20th, Jet2 advise to arrive as normal, but also check their website for further details.

Good news - In the Corfu group in FB somebody posted that the strike has been cancelled for next week by the union OSYPA
