- Canary Islands airport and public transport services may be affected.
- No widespread flight disruption has been confirmed.

## Summary

A general strike planned for 11 November could disrupt travel to Spain’s Canary Islands, including Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. The action may affect airport services and public transport, so holidaymakers travelling that day are being advised to check for updates before setting off.

No flight cancellations or widespread delays have been confirmed, and the scale of disruption will depend on how many workers take part. The Spanish Government has required 90% of private security staff at airports and ports to remain on duty; the strike is linked to concerns over pay, working conditions and housing costs.
