Spain Nationwide General Strike (11N) — Airport and Transport Disruption at MAD and BCN

A nationwide general strike in Spain on 11 November is generating broad transport disruption, with demonstrators active across major cities and confirmed impact at Barcelona (BCN) and Madrid (MAD) airports; LHR exposure is secondary via knock-on effects on Spain-UK routes. Travelers on Spanish carriers and inbound/outbound flights through MAD and BCN should expect cancellations, delays, and ground-side disruption including reduced public transit to terminals. Travel-care teams should anticipate a moderate-to-high rebooking load for same-day and next-day Spain itineraries, proactively reroute where possible, and issue duty-of-care advisories for travelers currently in-country or transiting through affected hubs.
