Britons already warned to ‘avoid flying’ there
Tourists travelling to Portugal have been issued with a code red warning due to industrial action taking place this month, which can severely affect their travel plans.
Britons in particular have been told to avoid holidaying there as their Portugal holidays could be delayed or cancelled at the end of August, as civil aviation workers from Portugal’s Civil Aviation Workers’ Union (SINTAC) and the Commercial Aviation Staff Union (SQAC) are planning industrial action from August 19 to August 21.
INDUSTRIONAL ACTION COULD CAUSE TRAVEL CHAOS
Airport workers including ground handlers, cabin crew, security staff and fire services are planning to strike for three days. The industrial action, which will take place in different airports across Portugal, could cause travel chaos and severely affect those visiting the country.
According to the union, employees will strike this month if their demands for better working conditions and higher wages aren’t met. The union SINTAC explained this could affect all 10 airports in Portugal run by ANA airports authority.
