EasyJet has said it “plans to operate its full flying schedule,” the airline told The Independent.
The budget carrier - which has dozens of flights between the UK and Italy scheduled - added: “We do recommend that all customers flying to or from Italy on Friday 3 May allow extra time to get to the airport.
“Although this is outside of our control we would like to apologise to customers for any inconvenience and would like to assure them that we are doing all possible to minimise any disruption as a result of the industrial action.”

British Airways told The Independent its flights to and from Italy will not be impacted.
French travel is set to be affected next week as air traffic controllers in France plan to strike on Thursday 9 May.
