London Gatwick Airport strikes over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend 2025: full list of dates and airlines affected
Briefly

As the Easter weekend approaches, which sees heavy travel in the UK, Gatwick Airport staff may strike from April 18 to 22. Staff from the ground handling firm Red Handling, including baggage handlers and check-in staff, are protesting against mishandling of their pension scheme and payment delays. The strike could affect approximately 50 flights daily across various airlines, prompting travelers to prepare for long queues and potential delays. Unite, the concerned union, is fully supporting its members in this dispute for fair treatment.
"Workers have had enough of Red Handling playing fast and loose with their retirement plans and waiting weeks for pay they are rightfully owed for their hard work."
"The union will not stand back and watch members be treated in such an appalling way and they have the full support of Unite in this dispute."
