Airline warns of strike action
The union representing cabin crew at TAP Portugal is calling for a one-day strike this Saturday (December 20) over a pay dispute.
The airline said this would result in severe delays and/or flight cancellations to the airline’s operations across the system.
It is strongly advising customers to consider other travel dates.
Customers with existing and ticketed bookings for Saturday who wish to change may do so free of charge.
Date changes are subject to availability on passenger’s chosen flights.
Alternately, passengers wishing to cancel their travel plans can opt for a full refund by contacting either their agent or TAP.
“TAP senior management is doing all possible to avoid work stoppage by working with the trade union authorities. They are optimistic that the issues between the two parties can be resolved without the need for a strike,” said a spokesman for the airline.
