Tuscany: Pisa and Florence airport handling strike on 13 September 2026 (11:00–15:00)
Last Updated:
Ground-handling staff of Toscana Aeroporti, GH Toscana and Consulta at Pisa and Florence airports stopped work for four hours on Sunday 13 September 2026, from 11:00 to 15:00, in parallel strikes called by USB Lavoro Privato and CUB Trasporti. Check-in, boarding and baggage services could be delayed in that window; flights in the protected bands (07:00–10:00 and 18:00–21:00) ran normally.
A second strike day announced for 14 September did not go ahead. USB's overtime ban at the same companies remains in force from 13 September to 12 October 2026, which can cause occasional delays at both airports outside the strike itself.
This alert was originally created on 18 August 2026.

✎ Update
The strike day announced for 14 September has been dropped: only the four-hour stoppage on 13 September from 11:00 to 15:00 took place at Pisa and Florence airports. No airport handling strike in Tuscany on 14 September. The overtime ban by USB members continues until 12 October 2026.

✎ Update
A further airport-handling strike has been added at Pisa and Florence airports on 14 September 2026, alongside the four-hour stoppage already scheduled for 13 September. The overtime ban linked to the USB action remains in place from 13 September to 12 October 2026.
Aug 26, 2026
✎ Update
A parallel CUB Trasporti Toscana call has been added for the same four-hour airport handling strike at Pisa and Florence on 13 September 2026, alongside the USB Lavoro Privato action. The overtime ban linked to the USB action remains listed from 13 September to 12 October 2026.

✎ Update
Workers at Toscana Aeroporti, GH Toscana and Consulta operating at Pisa and Florence airports are scheduled to strike from 11:00 to 15:00 on 13 September 2026. A newly listed CUB Trasporti proclamation appears alongside the already-known USB Lavoro Privato action for the same airports and date, so this may be a parallel call rather than a wholly separate stoppage; it would directly disrupt airport operations in Tuscany.
