2026-10-06: Workers at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) are scheduled to strike over pay from 16 to 18 October. Industrial action is scheduled from 3 am (local time) on 16 October to 6 am (local time) on 18 October for hourly-paid staff and from 6 am (local time) on Friday 16 October to 6 am (local time) Sunday 18 October for air traffic controllers. Unite said the strike could temporarily close the airport.
In case of a strike, major air traffic disruptions are to be expected. Delays and flight cancellations are likely. Before and after official strike hours, disruptions are also possible due to organisational reasons. Passengers are advised to contact their airline or tour operator about the current flight status in advance to their journey to the airport and to schedule additional time for their journey.
