Portugal: Possible EasyJet strike May 27-29

Event

On May 11, representatives of EasyJet cabin crew and ground staff based out of Portugal announced plans on social media to go on strike from Saturday, May 27, through Monday, May 29. Unless called off, the industrial action could cause disruptions to EasyJet flights (delays and cancelations) in and out of Portugal, including at airports in Lisbon, the Azores, and the Madeira islands. The union representing the employees has stated there will be no further announcements until after meetings scheduled for the coming days take place. As of May 14, EasyJet has not responded to the announced strike.

Advice

Travelers are advised to confirm the status of their flights before heading to the airport.
