Dhaka, Dec. 18 -- Flight schedules across Europe may be disrupted over the Christmas and New Year period due to a series of strikes affecting airports and ground handling services, reports Canarian Weekly.

Spain, including the Canary Islands, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and Italy are at risk of delays and cancellations.

In Spain, baggage handlers at Azul Handling, part of the Ryanair Group, have been on strike since 15 August over overtime, bonus payments, and unstable part-time contracts, with industrial action set to continue until 31 December. Strikes occur four days a week - Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays - during three key periods: 5:00-9:00, 12:00-15:00, and 21:00-23:59, coinciding with peak airport hours.
