Jun 29, 2026
Spain's Transport Ministry published a new minimum-services resolution on 25 June 2026, confirming the ASC strike by Outsmart and Totseriman SATE maintenance workers at Madrid-Barajas continues beyond 30 June. The stoppages remain on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays from 05:00 to 07:00 and 13:00 to 15:00, with 50% minimum staffing, so the strike has been extended rather than ending on 30 June 2026.
Jun 27, 2026
No fresh credible reporting found that the ASC strike by SATE baggage-system maintenance workers at Madrid-Barajas has been canceled, suspended, resumed, extended, escalated, or called off. The latest authoritative evidence still shows stoppages at Outsmart Assistance and Totseriman on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays through 30 June 2026 with 50% minimum staffing, so the strike appears to be proceeding as previously planned.
Apr 24, 2026

Times remain 05:00–07:00 and 13:00–15:00 on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
