Italy air‑traffic strike hits travel

A planned four‑hour national air‑traffic control strike in Italy on April 10 is set to disrupt flights at major hubs like Rome, Milan and Naples, so build extra buffer time into any Italian travel plans. (thetraveler.org) Travel patterns are shifting at the same moment: Rome and Palermo are seeing stronger demand while Milan and Venice are softer for long‑haul markets, which means some cities may feel crowded even as airport service is unstable.
