Original text of article, summer 2016:

As it looks like travel plans for the summer of 2016 will continue to be affected by strikes, whether of a general nature – affecting fuel supply for instance – or to do with public transport, baggage handlers or air traffic controllers, rather than clog the website with ad hoc Member Alerts, we decided to provide you with a link to a very reliable website, providing information for travellers all around the world.

HERE it is. Please use it at your discretion and don´t forget to check the websites of the airline you booked with, for information with regards to delays and cancellations and allow for plenty of time to get to the airport etc.
