Ryanair & Wizz Air Among 9 Airlines Facing Gatwick Refuelling Strike Groundings

Nine airlines, including Ryanair and Wizz Air, are facing potential groundings at London Gatwick Airport due to a planned strike by their refueling staff. The striking workers are seeking a 4.5% annual wage increase, citing rising inflation and the cost of living crisis. Negotiations between the airline group and the union representing the employees have stalled, leading to the announcement of industrial action. Experts predict that disruptions could begin as early as tomorrow, impacting flights across the airport’s operations. Authorities are advising passengers to check with their respective carriers for updates regarding flight schedules and potential delays.
