Conflict with the pilots
Although cabin crew managed to reach a pay deal with the company, Air Europa still has to deal with its ongoing conflict with pilots. Namely, six days of strike were announced in May, specifically for days 22, 23, 25, 26, 29 and 30; and two more for June: 1st and 2nd day. This suspension will affect all bases in Spain and adds four days to the strike already supported by pilots at the beginning of May.
