Norwich Airport  in the UK has announced that it will close to aircraft traffic on Friday, August 28, following a 24-hour strike by members of the Prospect union employed in air traffic control.

As a result of the strike, no flights will operate to and from the airport during that day.

Airlines have been informed of the expected disruptions, and passengers scheduled to fly to or from Norwich on Friday are asked to check with their airline for the latest information regarding their flight and their options.

At the airport, he apologized for the expected inconvenience to passengers and said he was committed to continuing talks with the Prospect union to resolve the dispute through dialogue.

A few days ago, the air traffic controllers' strike in Norway began, after no agreement was reached in negotiations. It caused delays and cancellations of several departing and arriving flights. Of course, there is no connection between the strikes.
