HOLIDAYMAKERS travelling from Edinburgh Airport to Italy have been warned their plans could be disrupted due to industrial action later this month.
EasyJet passengers travelling to and from Milan, Naples and Venice via the Scottish capital’s airport have been told to expect delays and cancellations due to walkouts.
Pilots employed by the airline plan to strike for four hours between 1pm and 5pm local time on Sunday, October 27, according to the union UIL Trasporti.
EasyJet have warned passengers its services will be stretched during the planned walkouts but will try to minimise any disruption as much as possible.
In a statement, an EasyJet spokesperson said: “EasyJet has been advised of strike action by UIL Trasporti, which represents some of its pilots based in Italy for four hours on 27 October between 13 and 17 local time, at its bases in Milan, Naples and Venice.
“We are committed to working constructively with our employee representatives in Italy and urge UIL to call off the action and come back to a constructive dialogue. We would like to reassure customers that we will do everything possible to minimise any disruption.”
