Sydney Airport security staff strike set to disrupt domestic travel on 16 October

Security-screening staff at Sydney Airport will strike twice on Friday 16 October, prompting Qantas, Rex and Jetstar to offer fee-free flight changes. Travellers are being urged to arrive early as reduced screening capacity is expected to cause lengthy queues and possible knock-on delays for connecting flights and time-sensitive freight. The disruption highlights continuing labour-supply risks in Australia’s aviation security sector.

Australia runs 15 October SkillSelect invitation round for Subclass 189 visas

Home Affairs issued a fresh round of invitations for Skilled Independent (Subclass 189) visas on 15 October 2026, covering a wide spread of occupations at points scores from 65 to the mid-90s. The move confirms the government’s commitment to skilled permanent migration and will help clear the post-pandemic EOI backlog, benefiting employers that rely on independent PR holders. Applicants must check that their SkillSelect profiles and supporting documents are up to date because official round statistics are still pending but invitations have already landed.

ANAC finalises assisted sale of Rio’s Galeão Airport, paving way for major capacity and security upgrades

ANAC formally completed the assisted sale of Rio’s Galeão Airport to Aena on 15 Oct 2026. The new concessionaire must invest R$ 4.7 billion in capacity, security and biometrics upgrades before 2029, ahead of the 2027 Pan-American Games. Faster processing and new long-haul routes will directly benefit business travellers and global mobility teams managing assignments to Brazil.

New Brunswick Opens Atlantic Immigration Program to Nearly All Occupations

Effective 14 October 2026 New Brunswick will allow AIP endorsements for all but four occupations, vastly expanding employer access to the federal–provincial fast-track to permanent residence. The province will still prioritise candidates already working locally and in key sectors, and its pause on new AIP employer designations remains in force.

UK threatens comprehensive visa ban on Eritrean nationals

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has threatened to block all Eritrean nationals from obtaining UK visas unless Eritrea resumes cooperation on deportations of refused asylum-seekers and criminals. The unprecedented step would apply across visitor, work and study routes and could disrupt employers that hire Eritrean talent or rely on Eritrean business partners.

Canada invites 2,500 Canadian-experience candidates in largest Express Entry draw since June

IRCC issued 2,500 ITAs to Canadian Experience Class candidates on 15 October 2026 with a CRS cut-off of 519. The larger-than-usual round helps clear the inventory of in-Canada skilled workers ahead of the 2027-2029 immigration plan and gives employers a faster path to retain foreign talent permanently.

EU signals fresh flexibility on biometric border checks as Dublin Airport congestion persists

At Skift’s Dublin summit, an EU transport chief said member states will soon regain the option to suspend full biometric capture under the new Entry/Exit System during extreme queues. The move should ease pressure at Dublin Airport, where border bottlenecks have been disrupting transfers and business itineraries. Airlines and employers welcome the stop-gap but continue to push for longer-term capacity fixes.

EU Court upholds Dublin Airport’s 32 million-passenger cap, putting squeeze on future airline slots

The CJEU ruled that Dublin Airport’s long-standing 32 million-passenger limit is a legitimate operational constraint that must be factored into slot allocation. Unless Ireland changes domestic planning law, regulators may have to cut airlines’ slots from summer 2027, threatening capacity on key business routes and increasing ticket prices.

EU Court of Justice upholds 32-million passenger cap at Dublin Airport

The CJEU ruled that the Irish Aviation Authority must respect the 32 million-a-year passenger cap when assigning slots at Dublin Airport, thwarting airline efforts to expand capacity. The decision tightens an already constrained gateway, with implications for airfare pricing, route development and corporate mobility planning.
