easyJet Italy Strike No Longer Scheduled for September 13

ROME — A nationwide easyJet (U2) flight-personnel strike advertised for Sunday, September 13, is no longer on Italy's schedule of active transport strikes, contradicting a warning that remained visible on Naples Airport's website Sunday afternoon.

The Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport's current strike register, updated September 13, omits the easyJet action from Sunday's list. A search of the ministry's archive categorizes the earlier action as Revocato, a status that the register says includes revocation, suspension, or deferral.

The archive does not specify which of those mechanisms applied or give a reason. It does show that USB Lavoro Privato's advertised September 13 action had covered easyJet flight personnel nationwide for 24 hours, with a shorter 11:00–15:00 period for flights to and from Cagliari.

A newly proclaimed national easyJet flight-personnel strike now appears in the official register for October 15, from 00:00 through 23:59 local time. That action remains scheduled and could still be changed before the date.

Naples Notice Conflicts With Current Register

Naples Airport's public departure page continued to display a September 7 notice advertising the easyJet strike when Airways checked it at 15:08 CEST Sunday.

For current strike status, the ministry register shows that the easyJet action is not among Sunday's scheduled stoppages. Passengers should still check their individual flight in easyJet's app or flight-status service because an airline can delay or cancel a flight for reasons unrelated to a national crew strike.

Airways had not identified an authoritative systemwide easyJet cancellation total as of 15:08 CEST. It is therefore not attributing any Sunday cancellation or delay to the no-longer-scheduled September 13 action without flight-level evidence.

Separate Airport Strikes Remain Scheduled

The easyJet status change does not remove the other aviation labor actions in Italy on Sunday. The ministry register lists a 24-hour ADR Security strike at Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) and Rome Ciampino Airport (CIA), plus an Aviation Services stoppage at the two airports from 11:00 to 15:00.

The register also lists two four-hour actions involving workers for Toscana Aeroporti, GH Toscana, and Consulta operating at the airports in Florence (FLR) and Pisa (PSA), from 11:00 to 15:00. Separate actions are listed at Cagliari Airport (CAG), Alghero Airport (AHO), and Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE).

The scope differs by airport and employer. Those actions should not be described as a shutdown of Italian aviation or as an easyJet systemwide strike. Alghero Airport, for example, warned that services supporting arriving and departing flights could be slower and advised passengers to arrive early; it did not announce that the airport would close.

How Italy's Protected Flight Windows Work

Italian civil-aviation rules protect parts of the schedule during air-transport strikes. ENAC says the principal windows are 07:00–10:00 and 18:00–21:00 local time.

For strikes involving pilots, cabin crew, flight technicians, airline maintenance workers, and airline ground personnel, scheduled departures in those windows are generally required to operate. Qualifying international arrivals and specified essential services also receive protection. The detailed obligation varies by service category, so the windows do not guarantee that every passenger itinerary will run normally.

The official records and operational pages reviewed by Airways do not establish strike-driven easyJet cancellations, displaced aircraft, or Monday recovery disruption. The remaining airport-worker actions could still affect individual flights, but any later consequence requires flight-level evidence.
