Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Heard on the news today, that there is to be a check in and baggage handlers' strike on Bank Holiday Monday and another 24 hour stoppage threatened for 29th.

Great!!! - I believe its Swissport staff, and although we are flying with Onur, not sure whether this will affect us or not if they go ahead. Any thoughts?

I didn't realise Manchester was involved as well

i understand manchester have voted to go on a 2 day strike the dates i think are 27 august and the 1st september this was on sky news yesterday

I went onto Gatwick airport website and found a link which gave the airlines affected.

We are travelling out with Onur Air and they are not listed.

Was on bbc website today that the strikes have been called off.

Phew!!! the thought of not getting there on time was really stressing me out! Maybe see you around Dotty.

Yes I was getting worried too, even though we're flying from Edinburgh on Tuesday I thought there might be some kind of knock on effect. However it all seems to be sorted for now. Hope to meet some of you lovely people over there.
