Italy faces widespread transport strikes on July 23‑24, 2026

A series of coordinated labour actions will disrupt major transport modes across Italy in the middle of July 2026. From 21 July, EasyJet pilots and cabin crew will strike for a full day, risking flight delays, cancellations and altered schedules, while guaranteed service windows (07‑10 h and 18‑21 h) remain in force. On 22‑23 July ferry workers at Grandi Navi Veloci and related maritime operators will halt services, and on 23‑24 July railway staff from the FS Group, Trenitalia, Trenitalia Tper and Trenord will observe a 24‑hour national strike. Essential regional and long‑distance train services are slated to run on a reduced “guaranteed” timetable, but cancellations, reroutings and refunds are expected.

The strikes affect domestic travelers and tourists during the peak summer holiday season, with potential knock‑on effects on airports, ports and public‑transport networks. Passengers are advised to check official operator websites, use alternate routes where possible and allow extra travel time.

Overall, the coordinated actions span air, sea and rail sectors, creating a week‑long period of heightened disruption for Italian transport infrastructure.
