Corporate travel managers with itineraries through Galicia should brace for disruption: a 24-hour strike by ground-handling staff at A Coruña’s Alvedro Airport (LCG) is scheduled for Monday, 27 October 2025. The strike notice—published on 22 October by travel-risk firm Travelface—covers check-in, ramp, and baggage-handling personnel employed by contractor South. A protest rally is planned from 12:00 to 13:00 in the departures hall.
A Coruña maintains multiple daily links to Madrid and Barcelona, serving as a feeder for long-haul connections. Any baggage-handling slowdown could cascade into missed onward flights at hub airports. Travelface warns of potential knock-on delays for inter-EU services, while some airlines are preparing contingency staff and requesting passengers to travel with hand luggage only.
Galician authorities have not mandated minimum service levels, raising the risk of complete work stoppage. AENA says it will divert some operations to Santiago de Compostela (SCQ) and Vigo (VGO) if necessary. Travellers are advised to reconfirm flight status 24 hours in advance, arrive early, and consider rail or road transfers between Galician cities.
For mobility planners, the action underscores persistent labour unrest in Spain’s regional airports following a summer of wage disputes. Companies with relocating employees or project teams transiting through LCG early next week should activate travel-risk protocols and adjust ticketing where feasible.
