Strike action is predicted to cause chaos for holidaymakers in Norwich this week.
All flights at Norwich Airport will be cancelled on Friday due to a 24-hour air traffic control strike.
It comes after the airport closed for five hours on August 21 and flights were diverted over the weekend due to the ongoing industrial action.
Several flights were cancelled by airlines such as Loganair and KLM.
Here is everything we know so far about the closure.
When will the strike be?
The strike will take place on Friday, August 28, for 24 hours.
No flights will operate into or leave the airport that day.
Why is there a strike?
It is part of an ongoing dispute with the Prospect union members in air traffic control over pay and parental leave.
The union is calling for a 10pc pay increase to bring salaries in line with industry standards.
It is understood Prospect is currently considering all of its options.
This includes more strike days if the airport management does not come to them with an offer, including improvements to pensions and maternity and paternity leave.
Industrial action short of a strike began on August 17, including only working to contract and refusing extra tasks and unpaid work.
Which airlines will be affected?
TUI has Palma, Corfu and Dalaman flights scheduled that day, along with Ryanair flights to and from Alicante.
Flights between Norwich and Aberdeen with Loganair will also be impacted, as well as KLM's daily Amsterdam services.
A TUI UK&I spokesman said: "We are aware of ongoing strikes at Norwich Airport and have made the necessary preparations to ensure our customers can enjoy their holidays as planned.
"Our priority is to keep customers informed and minimise disruption to their travel plans wherever possible."
The closure will also hit helicopters that regularly shuttle workers out to gas platforms, drilling rigs and offshore installations in the North Sea.
What has Norwich Airport said?
Norwich Airport has confirmed it is not expecting any "significant changes" to this week's flight schedule ahead of the full closure on Friday.
The airport has advised passengers to check with their airline for the latest information regarding their flights, especially those who are scheduled to fly on Friday.
"We are not anticipating any significant changes to the flying schedule this week, other than on Friday when Norwich Airport will be closed to air traffic, with no flights operating to or from the airport, as a result of a 24-hour strike announced by Prospect," a spokesman for Norwich Airport said.
"Our general advice to passengers is to check in as normal and always check with their airline for the latest information about their flight.
"Passengers due to travel on Friday should check with their airline for the latest information about their flight and the options available to them."
