A UK airport is set to close for an entire day this week – with strikes having already caused chaos.
Norwich Airport in Norfolk will be closed on August 28 due to another air traffic control strike taking place at the airport.
As a result, the airport will not be able to operate across the day meaning all flights will be cancelled, as there will be extremely low staff numbers.
It comes as Prospect union announced the strike as part of an ongoing dispute over pay, terms and conditions.
Strike action started last Monday after the airport failed to make an offer to resolve the dispute, with several cancellations on Friday including Loganair flights to and from Aberdeen.
Strike action means that staff will work strictly to their contract, not work overtime, won’t swap shifts and will withdraw goodwill.

In a statement on the airport’s website, it says: “Due to the 24-hour strike by Prospect union members in Air Traffic Control, Norwich Airport will be closed to air traffic on Friday 28 August and no flights will operate to or from the airport that day.
“Airlines have been informed. Passengers due to travel on Friday should check with their airline for the latest information about their flight and the options available to them.
“We apologise for the disruption and inconvenience this will cause to passengers.
“We remain firmly committed to resolving this dispute through constructive dialogue and will continue to engage with Prospect with the aim of reaching agreement.”
Destinations you can fly to from the airport include Faro, Malta, Alicante and Amsterdam.
Cancellations include a flights to Aberdeen, Corfu, Amsterdam, Alicante, Majorca and Dalaman.
David Avery, Prospect National Secretary for Aviation said: “It is extremely disappointing that we have still not received an acceptable offer from Norwich Airport, which has left us with little choice but to push ahead with this industrial action.
“Our members in air traffic control are not making unreasonable demands, they are simply asking for pay levels and terms and conditions that are normal for their colleagues across the country.
“We hope that the employer can quickly return to the bargaining table with an improved offer that will enable this dispute to be resolved without the need for strike action.”
