State television broadcaster RTVE and other media outlets reported this unanimously on Wednesday. The strike was triggered by fears that working conditions could deteriorate.

In the background, it can be seen that Iberia Airport Services, which is responsible for handling the aircraft, lost almost all of its contracts with major Spanish airports other than Madrid-Barajas to its competitors in a tender held in September.

This means that all airlines landing and taking off there in the future will no longer be responsible for the handling of their aircraft. About 7,000 employees feared they would have to work under worse conditions for the new licensees.

RTVE reported that the unions wanted to use the strike to ensure that Iberia took over management of at least all aircraft from airlines owned by parent company IAG (Iberia, British Airways, Level, Vueling, Aer Lingus and Air Nostrum). affected Spanish airports. Iberia rejected this due to cost.

29, 30 and 31 December and 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 January were called strike days.
