Spain’s Ministry of Transport has set minimum services of 18% to 85% for commercial flights scheduled during the 11 November general strike. The measure sets a route-based operating baseline; it does not mean every scheduled flight will run.
ElDiario.es reports that the resolution divides commercial flights into three categories according to the transport alternatives available to travellers. Domestic links to or from non-peninsular territories, and routes under public-service obligations, must retain 56% to 85% of scheduled operations at each airport.
The higher range gives greater protection to connections where alternatives are more limited. That places the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla at the centre of the order’s connectivity logic, rather than treating the whole network alike.
The 18%-to-85% range varies by route category and by origin and destination airport. It is therefore a regulatory minimum for categories of service, not a passenger-specific timetable. ElDiario.es’ excerpt does not include the full percentage table or identify the flights airlines will operate or cancel.
For travellers flying on 11 November, airline notices will determine the status of individual bookings. The ministry’s order protects a share of operations, but the practical effect will depend on the lists each carrier publishes.
