air traffic control

Jerez de la Frontera/Brussels - The European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) is raising serious concerns over working conditions and potential safety risks at liberalised airport control towers in Spain, following a recent meeting with air traffic controllers, represented by ETF-affiliated trade union, Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), at Jerez Airport.

ETF condemns the most recent intentions of the company Highlands and Islands Airports Limited of reducing the current level of the air traffic control services at six airports in Highlands and Islands and further centralizing them remotely.

Join us in telling the Hungarian government and Hungarian Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) to respect air traffic workers' right to strike.
