Holidaymakers heading to Portugal soon for their late summer holidays have been urged to make themselves aware when an “avoid flying” warning has been issued.
Due to wide scale industrial action set to take place this month, thousands of people could be impacted as workers from Portugal’s Civil Aviation Workers’ Union (SINTAC) and the Commercial Aviation Staff Union (SQAC) are striking for three days between August 19 and 21.
Ground handlers, cabin crew, security staff and fire services are among those who could walk out in Portugal airports if their demands for higher wages aren’t met, according to the unions.
