Italy faces series of transport strikes in September.
People travelling and commuting in Italy this September face disruption due to a series of strikes affecting air travel, trains and local public transport services.
Here are the main transport strikes to watch out for in Italy during September 2025.
4-5 September: Nationwide rail strike
Train passengers in Italy face disruption to rail services on 4-5 September due to a 21-hour strike by railway staff employed by Trenitalia, Italo and Trenord.
The nationwide strike, scheduled from 21.00 on Thursday 4 September until 18.00 on Friday 5 September, is set to affect regional and long-distance rail services.
The industrial dispute, which also includes cargo trains, has been called by trade unions SGB, USB Lavoro Privato and PDM/PDB over working conditions and contracts.
4 September: Local public transport strike in Rome
Commuters and tourists in Rome can expect disruption to local public transport services on Thursday 4 September due to a four-hour strike from 08.30 to 12.30.
The industrial action is set to impact the capital’s bus, subway and tram services operated by municipal transport provider ATAC.
Airport and airline staff strikes on 6 September
A four-hour nationwide strike by airport ground staff, organised by multiple trade unions, is planned for Saturday 6 September.
The strike, scheduled from midday until 16.00, is set to cause potential disruption to airport services and flights.
Italy’s civil aviation authority ENAC will likely provide updates on its website nearer the date of the strike.
Also on 6 September, there will be a 24-hour strike by pilots and cabin crews employed by British low-cost carrier easyJet as part of an ongoing dispute over staff pay and working conditions.
Separately, airport strike action which had been scheduled nationwide in Italy for 26 September was revoked earlier this month.
