"Only twenty percent of European flights will run in Spain on the day of the General Strike - September 29"
Agreement was reached late on Wednesday night between the Government and the Unions on the minimum transport services which will run in Spain on the day of the General Strike, September 29.
Under the agreement all the country's airports will open, and that 40% of intercontinental flights will operate, 20% of European flights will take off, along with 10% of National services. There will also be 50% coverage on flights from the mainland to the islands, and on flights between the islands.
Local train services will see an average of 25% coverage, rising to 30% at peak times, and 20% of AVE high speed train services will operate.
It comes as the ‘global’ agreement was finally reached after ten hours of talks late on Wednesday with the flight levels proving to be the biggest sticking point.

Meanwhile Iberia has cancelled 22 flights today because of the General Strike in France.
