Luxair has warned passengers travelling to or from Spain and Portugal on Wednesday to expect significant flight disruptions due to a general strike and severe weather conditions.

In Spain, a general strike is expected to impact international air traffic operations. Consequently, Luxair advises passengers departing from Spanish airports to arrive at least three hours before their scheduled departure. Travellers flying from Findel Airport to Spain are also urged to arrive early and anticipate potential delays.

Meanwhile, Portugal is bracing for a severe storm bringing winds of up to 120 km/h. A red weather alert has been issued for eight districts, including the capital, Lisbon, prompting the closure of schools and public administrations. Interior Minister Neves has urged residents to remain indoors if possible.

Passengers scheduled to fly with Luxair to or from Portugal on 11 November are advised to verify their flight status before heading to the airport, as delays, schedule changes, or cancellations remain possible.

The national carrier stated it is closely monitoring both situations to minimise operational disruptions. Any affected Luxair and LuxairTours customers will be contacted directly using the information provided at the time of booking.
