Passengers with trips booked to Portugal have been issued a warning ahead of widescale industrial action due to take place this month.
Tens of thousands of travellers could see plans descend into chaos as civil aviation workers from Portugal’s Civil Aviation Workers’ Union (SINTAC) and the Commercial Aviation Staff Union (SQAC) to walk out across three days. Ground handlers, cabin crew, security staff and fire services are among employees who could strike in airports across the country if their demands for higher wages aren’t met, unions have said.
In a summer that has already been marked by delays and disruption, the walk-out comes as another headache for those wanting to have a holiday abroad.
