Adria has 21 flights scheduled to depart from its hub at the Jože Pučnik Ljubljana Airport on Wednesday and 24 on Thursday.

It called on passengers to keep an eye on the timetable for Thursday as "we will carry out most of the scheduled flights or provide alternatives for passengers".

The statement comes after pilots announced a two-day strike to be carried out between 6 AM and 10 PM, when most Adria flights are operated.

The trade union of Adria Airways pilots made the decision after today's round of talks with the management "failed to result in a nearing of positions and an agreement that would secure the same scope of rights and obligations for pilots as valid until the end of February".

The release quoted the trade union boss Marjan Majcen as saying that the strike committee was "willing to keep trying until the last moment for an agreement... but will not consent to a lowering of pay and other working terms for pilots".
