A general national strike scheduled to take place in Italy on Friday, 30 October, may cause delays and cancellations for travellers flying to, from or within the country.

The Embassy of Malta in Italy has issued a travel advisory warning passengers that flights could be disrupted, urging them to check the latest updates from their airlines before travelling and allow extra time for their journeys.

The embassy also advised Maltese nationals currently in Italy who rely on Italian public services to check for updates on the provision of these services during the strike.

Travellers are encouraged to remain informed about possible disruptions and confirm their travel arrangements before setting off.
