The Vice-Prime Minister has just announced that the overall supervision of air traffic control in Spain has been taken over by the Military. The controllers in some cases have reported for work in recent shifts but in some cases do not appear to want to work.
The next step the Spanish Government will take will be an emergency meeting of ministers at 9.00 am tomorrow Saturday and if at that time the air traffic controllers have not brought the air traffic in Spain to normality, the Ministers will announce the State of Alarm in Spain and the air traffic controllers will be required to report for duty under that emergency requirement. If any air traffic controller refuses to report for duty under the State of Alarm, the controller will be liable to criminal prosecution with the risk of getting a possible lengthy prison sentence.
