Airlines have urged Spain to declare a state of emergency to keep airports open through a planned series of strikes in Easter and peak summer season. Members of the International Air Carrier Association (IACA), which includes Tui, Thomas Cook and Monarch, said the Spanish government had to ensure airports remained fully operational at all times. The carriers transport much of Spain’s tourism traffic, which is vital to the Spanish economy. And IACA urged Spain to consider declaring a state of emergency to protect its vital interests. IACA director-general Sylviane Lust said: “Airlines and their passengers have been severely hit by the recent multiple ATC (air traffic control) strikes in Spain. “Now that many tourists have swapped their travel plans in favour of Spain as the result of the unrest in North African destinations, a wave of new industrial actions is planned at peak holiday periods.” She added: “Enough is enough. The Spanish economy, passengers and airlines cannot afford to be held ransom by transport workers. This must be stopped." Airport workers are threatening 22 days of strikes from Easter to August in protest at government plans to sell off 49% of the state airport operator AENA.

Spanish airports authority, AENA, and unions have failed to reach an agreement to stop proposed Easter and Summer strike action. The strikes were called to protest against the privatisation of Spanish airports by AENA Unions demand written guarantees from the government that workers jobs and conditions will be protected after the sale of the airports, which include the ones of Barcelona and Madrid. Press reports suggest neither Pubic Works Minister Jose Blanco nor anyone from the department attended the meeting, sparking fresh criticism that the government is not taking swift action to solve what will have a disastrous effect on tourism. AENA President, Juan Ignacio Lema, only attended the talks for 15 minutes, reports say. Despite this morning’s failed talks, there is another meeting this afternoon (Thursday) at 5pm. The proposed dates for the 22 days of strike action are presently: April 20, 21, 24, 25 and 30 May 2, 14, 15, 19 and 20 June 13, 23 and 30 July 1, 2, 3, 4, 15 and 31 August 1, 15, 31

Talks to head off a wave of strikes by Spanish airport workers will be held in Spain on Thursday amid fears that the stoppages could have a ripple effect across Europe.
Union leaders will meet Jose Blanco, Spain’s development minister, in an attempt to settle the dispute over plans to privatise the country’s airports.
Spanish unions have threatened 22 days of strikes starting just ahead of Easter and running through until August.
They have called key workers out, including firemen without whom airports cannot operate as well as baggage handlers and back office staff.
A stoppage would not only shut Spain’s airport’s, but could have an impact elsewhere, warned a spokesman for the International Air Transport Association, the body representing scheduled airlines.
“If you take one country out of the network, there could be problems,” he said.
Any disruption can lead to aircraft and crews being stranded in the wrong place, which can have a knock-on impact. Another difficulty will be faced by long haul carriers who were planning to stop at major Spanish airports en-route to South America. These aircraft would have to be re-routed to airports in other countries which are not involved in the strike. Given congestion in Europe’s crowded skies, this in turn could lead to some juggling of schedules. There were some indications that Spain may be able to offer at least a skeleton service, should the walkouts take place. Mr Blanco voiced optimism that an agreement could be reached, although Spanish unions did not agree. In Britain, Theresa Villiers, the aviation minister, appealed to both sides to reach an agreement. "This strike would be bad news for thousands of British holidaymakers. I really hope the unions come back from the brink and find a way to resolved the dispute without a strike which could cause so much travel misery."
