The taxi drivers union AUMAT have announced that there will be a week-long strike of taxi drivers at Malaga airport over the Easter week. The strike will start at 6am on Monday the 25th of March and end at the same time a week later on Monday the 1st of April. The drivers are campaigning to end the right of taxis from other towns to be able to come and pick up pre-booked fairs from the airport.
