The unions representing the pilots and flight attendants of Hungarian airline company Malev will stage a two-hour warning strike on Wednesday, Tamas Ovari, head of the trade union Hunalpa, told MTI on Sunday evening.

The strike will start at 10am, affect a couple of flights, and cause delays of up to 10 minutes to others, he said.

The unions demand that the minimum time of rest for the crew should be extended by an hour or two.

In the absence of an agreement with the management, the unions will call a general strike for 10am on Friday, Ovari said.
