EasyJet Portugal cabin crew to strike over conditions
Cabin crew at EasyJet in Portugal have voted to strike over working conditions, according to the SNPVAC union. The action, planned for two separate windows this year, could disrupt dozens of flights to and from Lisbon, Porto and Faro, with additional disruption possible during the busy December period.
What changed
A Portuguese union representing EasyJet cabin staff, SNPVAC, announced that crew will stage work stoppages in two periods: 2–6 October and 19–23 December. The first strike is expected to ground or cancel around five hundred flights serving Lisbon, Porto, and Faro airports. The second strike could have greater impact due to the holiday travel period.
Who is affected
The actions primarily affect EasyJet’s Portuguese cabin crew. Passengers traveling to or from Lisbon, Porto, and Faro could face cancellations or delays during the October window. Holiday travel in December may see increased disruption if the second strike proceeds as planned. The airline’s customers with bookings in these periods should monitor flight status and contact their airline for options if affected.
Practical next steps
What to do if you’re flying: check your flight status on EasyJet’s site or app, and consider flexible or alternative travel plans. If your flight is canceled or significantly changed, you may be eligible for a refund or rebooking under EasyJet’s policies. If you want to stay informed, monitor SNPVAC announcements and local aviation news for updates on strike dates and any additional actions. For travel planning, be mindful that December holidays could bring heavier disruption than usual due to the second strike window.
