Private jet travel from Barcelona as strike action causes airline chaos

We’re seeing increased demand for short notice private jet travel from Barcelona, as further 24-hour strike by the main airport’s security staff is set to cause further airport havoc at Barcelona El Prat from today – causing long delays for scheduled airline travellers.

This month has already seen airline travellers stranded in long queues and missing flights at the Spanish airport, after private security staff began a series of rolling one-hour strikes. These are set to be replaced today by a rolling 24-hour walkout.
