Venice: Marco Polo Airport security staff strike on 22 November 2026 (moved from 16 October)

Security screening staff employed by the contractor Sicuritalia IVRI at Venice Marco Polo Airport are called to a 24-hour strike on Sunday 22 November 2026, proclaimed by Fisascat-CISL. The strike was first set for 16 October; the union filed the new date with the transport ministry on 5 October and the 16 October entry has been removed from the ministry's strike register. It follows a four-hour stoppage by the same staff on 13 September.

What to expect: flights are not cancelled by a security strike, but queues at the security checkpoints can be much longer for departing passengers, especially in the morning peak; the airport normally deploys management and other staff to keep lanes open. Arrive earlier than usual and check SAVE's airport notices.
