Iberia Express cancels flights ahead of a cabin crew strike

Iberia Express issued this warning (translated from Spanish) about an intended strike by the cabin crew union, USO::

In order to protect our customers in a period of peak influx, we have canceled 12 round trip flights between August 28, 29 and 30.

o Canary Islands: 1 flight -i/v- (days 28 and 29)
o Balearic Islands: 1 daily flight -i/v- (days 28, 29, 30)
o Seville: 1 daily flight -i/v- (days 28, 29, 30)
o Santiago: 1 daily flight -i/v- (days 28, 29, 30)
o Malaga: 1 flight -i/v- (day 29)

These cancellations are intended to minimize, above all, the impact on our customers.

All customers affected by these cancellations, around 3,000 passengers, have been duly notified and a reaccommodation process has been launched on other flights of Iberia Express, Iberia and other airlines, to which we add alternatives such as bonuses and refunds:

o 66% of affected passengers have already been relocated to other flights or alternative means of transport
o The remaining 34% is pending to choose the alternative that suits them best (transport alternative, reimbursement, change of date or vouchers)

The reason for this measure is none other than to protect our clients and ensure their interests in the return operation, on specially marked dates.

The company has not yet made any decision on the affected flights as of the 31st. Once the situation is evaluated in the coming days, it will be duly informed.

We make a new appeal to the responsibility of the union ‘USO’ so that it calls off the strikes and bets on dialogue and not on social confrontation.


We regret the inconvenience this situation is causing our customers and apologize for it.
