Coming to Fuerteventura on the 8th and dreading delays at airports.
Does anyone know if the traffic controllers strike is still on?

Both Easyjet and Jet2 have stated that they don`t expect disruption during the strikes, although they do add the caveat that passengers should be prepared in case there are delays..
