Air Europa pilots are planning strike action every Monday and Thursday from September 22nd, the industrial action scheduled to continue indefinitely.
Air Europa have a codeshare agreement with Orbest airlines for flights departing the Canary Islands for Cancun and Punta Cana, an agreement reached in December 2010.
However, this agreement has apparently been extended to cover some mainland routes arriving or departing from the Canary Islands but without the Union, SEPLA, being consulted. SEPLA consider this extension to be ‘outsourcing’ and have called for strike action.
