easyJet cabin crew members in Portugal have approved two strike periods organized by the National Union of Civil Aviation Flight Personnel (SNPVAC). The first strike is scheduled for October 2 to 6, and the second will take place from December 19 to 23.

The October strike is expected to affect approximately 500 scheduled flights operating from the Porto, Lisbon, and Faro bases. Officials expect a significantly higher number of disruptions during the December strike due to increased holiday demand.

The union cited grievances including unstable scheduling, discriminatory treatment compared to pilots, pressure to work overtime, and pay slip errors. While negotiations for a new company agreement have been ongoing since March, a proposal presented by easyJet in August was rejected by 98% of workers. SNPVAC also noted that a shortage of cabin crew in Portuguese bases has caused operational disruptions for several months.
