Italy: UILT-UIL 24-hour strike at ENAV and Techno Sky on Friday 15 January 2027 (air traffic services, nationwide)

The union UILT-UIL has filed a 24-hour nationwide strike for Friday 15 January 2027 covering the staff of ENAV, Italy's air navigation service provider, and of Techno Sky, the ENAV group company that maintains air traffic control systems. Both notices were registered with the Ministry of Transport on 21 October 2026, and the Techno Sky notice already appears on the strike guarantee commission's calendar as a full-day strike.

What to expect: a full-day stoppage of air traffic services would mean delays and cancellations at Italian airports and on overflights throughout the day. Under Italy's rules for air transport strikes, flights in the protected time bands (07:00–10:00 and 18:00–21:00) and the flights on ENAC's guaranteed list must operate, and the guarantee commission can shorten notices that exceed the sector's limits. Airlines publish their cancellation lists in the days before a strike; this page will be updated when the hours are confirmed and when the reasons are published.

Why: the union has not yet published the reasons for the call.
