Travelers going to Portugal this summer warn that they expect delay and lifting the flight every weekend in August from the attacks of staff at airports throughout the country.

Aircraft service, baggage management and registration are carried out, as employees mobilize protesting protesters of low, unpaid night shifts and differences in parking spaces after the purchase of Groundforce by British aviation Menzies.

Airports will suffer in Lisbon, Faro and Port, as well as Madeira, Porto Santo and Azores, and the holidays coincide with the climax of the tourist season.

Dates of the blow:

  • August 15–18

  • August 22-25

  • August 29 – September 1

Already the first two blows of the waves caused chaos: Lisbon Airport abolished more than 70 flights during the first weekend, and the second was canceled and detained, while about 25 flights without passenger baggage.

The dispute was aggravated, since the Sima trade union trade union accuses the Menzis administration of an “arrogant and irresponsible position”, while the company replies that it “adheres to the law and rights of workers” and accuses the “distorted narrative” union.

Mobilization in Portugal is part of a wider wave of blows that struck European airports this summer, with long delays and thousands of cancellation in Italy, Spain and France.

Travelers are designed to check their flight in a timely manner, provide extra time at airports and be prepared for unpredictable changes in their plans.
