On October 21, four unions called on their members to walk out, including airline, rail and public transport workers. The strike is scheduled to last 24 hours and is expected to cause major restrictions in public life.

According to the will of the unions, among other things, all employees of the Italian air traffic control company ENAV should take part in the strike and rest between 0:01 a.m. and midnight. The same applies to the staff of several service companies who are busy with ground services and handling at the airports. Although the Italian right to strike stipulates that a minimum of service must be maintained, passengers must expect considerable restrictions in Italian air traffic on Friday next week. It is advisable to have booked connections confirmed in advance and, if necessary, to plan more time buffers for the processes at the airport. This is reported by Check 24.

Travel on the ferries between mainland Italy and the islands will also be difficult on October 21 as maritime workers want to join the 24-hour walkout. Traffic on the rails is to be completely stopped from October 20 at 21 p.m. to October 21 at 21 p.m. In local public transport, a greatly reduced strike timetable takes effect with regionally different routes and travel times, which differ greatly from the normal agenda. Travelers should inquire about the timetable for October 21 with the respective transport company in their region of stay. Drivers also have to be prepared for inconveniences when traveling overland: the employees of the Italian motorways are on strike from October 20 from 22 p.m. to October 21 at 22 p.m.
