MORE strikes are being planned by Ryanair and easyJet crew this week, causing more travel disruption.

Ryanair staff have already gone on strike this month, after staff walked out last week.

However, there are more plans for strikes this month.

A three-day Ryanair walkout is planned in Spain this week running from June 30 until July 2.

This will affect flights at ten bases across Spain – Madrid, Malaga, Barcelona, Alicante, Sevilla, Palma, Valencia, Girona, Santiago de Compostela and Ibiza.

And easyJet on-board crew in Spain will ALSO strike for nine days in July, starting from this week between July 1 and 3rd.

Holidaymakers will be informed if their flights are cancelled, although last week's strike affected "less than 2 per cent of 9,000 flights" according to Ryanair.

It's not the only strike action that could cause more travel problems for Brits.

Some 16,000 BA workers are threatening to join 700 Heathrow Airport check-in staff in a planned walk-out.
