Italian easyJet pilots and cabin crew strike set for 13 June
Many passengers flying with easyJet in Italy could face delays and cancellations on 13 June 2026, when the airline's Italian-based pilots and cabin crew are due to strike for 18 hours. The disruption may be worse because the same day also brings walkouts by air-traffic-control staff at Verona Villafranca Airport, ground-handling and security staff at Cagliari Elmas Airport, and ground-handling staff at Milan Linate Airport. If your journey is affected you should know that you can claim up to {{compensation_value}} compensation for delays over 3 hours and cancellations announced less than 2 weeks before departure. Delays linked to air traffic control or third-party airport staff are less likely to qualify, though care, rerouting, or a refund may still apply.

Paris ground staff strike threatens delays at Charles de Gaulle, Orly, and Le Bourget on 18 June
A confirmed 24-hour ground staff strike will affect Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), Paris Orly Airport (ORY), and Paris Le Bourget Airport (LBG) on 18 June 2026, with delays and possible same-day cancellations expected across Paris. The walkout covers baggage handlers, ramp agents, check-in staff, cleaning crews, and other badged airport workers, and airlines including Air France, British Airways, easyJet, Ryanair, Delta Air Lines, Emirates, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, and United Airlines could feel the impact. Because this is an airport-staff strike rather than airline industrial action, compensation under EC 261 is unlikely in most cases, but airlines should still provide rerouting or refunds if flights are cancelled, and care during longer delays.

Wind delays flights at Palma de Mallorca Airport on 9 June
Delays spread across Palma de Mallorca Airport on 9 June 2026 after wind shear forced air traffic control to increase the spacing between arriving aircraft and hold some flights before landing. "Wind shear" is a sudden and dramatic change in wind speed, wind direction, or both. It particularly problematic for airplanes during take off and landing, hence why Palma Airport took precautionary measures. The airport remained open, but the knock-on effect hit both arrivals and departures through the afternoon and early evening. Because the disruptions were caused by weather, compensation under EC 261 is usually unlikely, but airlines should still provide care and assistance during longer delays.

KLM cancels 22 flights at Amsterdam Schiphol as delays hit Europe and US routes
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines canceled 22 flights at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the 24 hours leading up to 9 June 2026, while dozens more services were delayed across European and US routes. The disruption hit busy connections to Zurich, Geneva, Berlin, Paris, and Lisbon, and also affected some trans-Atlantic flights, leaving passengers to deal with crowded terminals and long rebooking waits. With no strike, major IT failure, or severe weather event linked to the problem, the disruption points to operational pressure within the airline's control. That means passengers whose flights were canceled or delayed by more than 3 hours may be entitled to up to {{compensation_value}} compensation under EC 261, and can check their flight with AirHelp's free checker.

Tornado-related storms disrupt over 1,000 flights at Denver International Airport
Severe weather linked to a tornado outbreak disrupted operations at Denver International Airport on 8 June 2026, affecting over 1,000 flights in total. Airport data showed 1,002 delays and 9 cancellations across arrivals and departures, with Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Alaska Airlines among the carriers responding to the disruption. For travelers, that meant longer waits, changed plans, and some canceled trips. Passengers were told to monitor their booking channels for updates and rebooking options. For trips covered by EC 261, compensation is usually unlikely because severe weather is outside the airline's control, but airlines should still provide care and assistance, including rebooking or refunds where appropriate.

Rome Fiumicino disruption causes over 300 delays and 5 cancellations at Leonardo da Vinci Airport
Rome's Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was hit by heavy disruption on 8 June 2026, with over 300 delayed flights and 5 cancellations affecting thousands of passengers and airlines including ITA Airways, easyJet, Wizz Air, KLM, and British Airways. The problems appear to have been driven by wider airport and network pressure which could mean staffing shortages, tight runway capacity, and air traffic congestion across Europe. Whether passengers can claim compensation depends on the exact reason the flight was disrupted, but passengers should still check their rights and ask for rerouting, refunds, food, and other care where needed.

Amsterdam Schiphol sees 252 delays and 21 cancellations on 7 June
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands recorded 252 delayed flights and 21 cancellations on 7 June 2026, with the disruption hitting both local departures and onward connections. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines was prominently affected, and delays also spread to Delta Air Lines, Lufthansa, British Airways, and easyJet as aircraft and crews fell out of position. For passengers, that meant missed long-haul connections, long lines at service desks, baggage re-tagging, and overnight stays for some travelers. Because the disruption appears linked to capacity pressure, turnaround times, crew availability, and air-traffic-control spacing rather than one clear trigger, your rights will depend on your exact flight. If you were affected, keep your boarding pass and receipts, and check what support or compensation may apply under EC 261.

Paris airports hit by 549 delays and 12 cancellations on 3 June
A major disruption across Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris Orly Airport, and Gustaf III Airport began on 3 June 2026, reaching 549 delays and 12 cancellations by midday.
