On 21 November VisaHQ circulated the Ministry of Infrastructure’s updated calendar of transport strikes, warning businesses to expect a 24-hour general walk-out across airports, rail and urban transit on 28 November. Airlines are already trimming schedules outside the protected time bands and Trenitalia has announced cancellations from the evening of 27 November.
![Government Publishes Strike Calendar: Nationwide Air-Rail Walk-Out Set for 28 November]()
The clustering of strikes—local bus stoppages on 20 November, the nationwide protest on the 28th and a Milan metro strike on the 30th—poses a triple threat to end-of-month board meetings and holiday-season logistics. Under Italian law, operators can cancel services freely outside the “fasce di garanzia” windows, limiting passenger compensation.
Corporate travel managers should advise executives to arrive a day early, book hotels within walking distance of offices and secure private transfers where rental-car supply is already tight ahead of the 2026 Jubilee influx. Real-time duty-of-care check-ins are recommended during the strike window.
