easyJet Strike Cancels 370 Flights Across Portuguese Airports
A five-day cabin crew strike at easyJet led to the cancellation of 370 flights in Portugal, according to the National Union of Civil Aviation Flight Personnel (Sindicato Nacional do Pessoal de Voo da Aviação Civil or SNPVAC). Union president Ricardo Penarroias reported 100% staff participation at Portuguese bases, resulting in an overall cancellation rate of approximately 90%. easyJet grounded 343 flights prior to the walkout and cancelled 30 more while the strike was underway.
The SNPVAC (Sindicato Nacional do Pessoal de Voo da Aviação Civil) is the national union representing cabin crew members in Portugal. It negotiates collective bargaining agreements and advocates for the working conditions and rights of flight personnel within the aviation industry.
