EasyJet crews in Italy to strike on 31 January, afternoon flights at risk

EasyJet’s Italian pilots and cabin crew will hold a nationwide strike on Saturday, 31 January, from 13:00 to 17:00. The action, called by ANPAC and USB Lavoro Aereo, falls outside Italy’s protected flight windows, enabling legal cancellations and potential delays. Disruption is expected at Milan–Malpensa, Rome–Fiumicino, Naples and Venice, with possible knock-on effects to UK-bound rotations. EasyJet plans a skeleton schedule using contingency crews and is offering free rebooking or refunds. Passengers monitoring the app and retaining boarding passes may benefit from EC261 compensation, depending on circumstances.
