Delays for air passengers

Delays at Alicante airport yesterday were caused by the action of air traffic controllers. Although, El Altet had its full compliment of controllers for the morning shift and two out of three for the afternoon, other airports in the chain faced major problems notably at El Prat in Barcelona. In the morning, delays were about an hour and the half; by the evening that had been reduced to about 45 minutes.

These delays could carry on throughout the summer period as controllers threaten to continue action until their work rotas are properly organised.
