Santiago–Rosalía de Castro Airport, located in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain, will be closed for five weeks from April 23 to May 27 due to essential runway resurfacing work. This closure is expected to significantly impact travel during the busy spring period, particularly the May half-term holiday. The airport is the busiest in the Galicia region and the second-busiest in northern Spain, with airlines such as British Airways, Ryanair, and Vueling operating numerous flights from there. Passengers should anticipate disruptions and are advised to contact their airlines for updates on flight status and rebooking options. In addition to the airport closure, ongoing strikes by ground staff at multiple airports across Spain, including major hubs in Barcelona, Madrid, and Malaga, are causing further travel complications. These strikes, initiated on March 30, are part of a pay dispute involving employees of Groundforce and Menzies Aviation, leading to partial work stoppages on specific days and times.
