The Spanish authorities have declared a 70% coverage of workload for the Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) limited industrial action on June 8^th, 10^th, 12^th and 14^th.

This industrial action consists in two -two hour- disruption periods of normal operation on these days. This is the ATC  will reduce (up to a 30%) the work they perform from 10am to noon and 6pm to 8pm on the 8th, 10th, 12th and 14^th of June.

On June the 8^th ATC operations will be:

• 70% from 10:00 till 12:00  –  If the airport has 10 programmed departures in that period only 7 will take place.
• 100% from 12:00 till 18:00 – in some airports they may be a delay because of previous disruption.
• 70% from 18:00 till 20:00 – If the airport has 20 programmed departures in that period only 14 will take place
• 100% from 20:00 till 24:00.
