The easyJet cabin crew strike is scheduled to begin on Friday and will continue until Tuesday of next week. The National Union of Civil Aviation Flight Personnel (SNPVAC) confirmed that the action will result in significant cancellations.

According to information from SNPVAC, 443 flights departing from the airline's bases in Lisbon, Porto, and Faro are already canceled. This strike arises in response to labor issues that have yet to be resolved.

In addition to the mentioned cancellations, some reports indicate that the strike could affect up to 80% of scheduled flights during this period. The long-term impact of these cancellations is still being assessed.

EasyJet has not provided additional details on the efforts being made to minimize disruptions for affected passengers. The airline is responsible for communicating with customers regarding flights that remain operational and those that have been canceled.

Crew members hope that this strike will lead to broader discussions about their working conditions and labor rights. SNPVAC continues to represent the concerns of this professional group.

Passengers are advised to check the status of their flights and to contact the airline for updates. More precise information regarding cancellations and available alternatives will be communicated as the situation evolves.
