Portugal: Unionized Easyjet cabin crew start nationwide industrial action on alternate days May 26-June 3
Unionized Easyjet cabin crew striking nationwide in Portugal on alternate days May 26-June 3. Flight disruptions likely.
Event
Unionized Easyjet cabin crew have announced industrial action across Portugal for May 26-June 3. The National Union of Civil Aviation Flight Personnel (SPNVAC) announced the strike in support of improved wages and working conditions. The industrial action is planned for alternate days, May 26, 28, 30, and June 1 and 3. However, flights will be likely impacted throughout the period. Easyjet has canceled several hundred flights. In accordance with Portuguese regulations, Easyjet must provide a minimum service to certain destinations including Madeira.
The strike will cause cancellations, delays and disruptions to flight schedules. The impact may continue in the hours following the strike, as aircraft and crews are repositioned and services return to normal.
Advice
Confirm Easyjet flight bookings and schedules. Allow extra time for arrival at airports to mitigate delays when checking in.
