Portugal’s National Union of Civil Aviation Flight Personnel (SNPVAC) is to hold a meeting in Lisbon on Tuesday, April 24th, bringing together various European Ryanair cabin crew union leaders to discuss the airline’s lack of willingness to treat its workers fairly."The presence of representatives from trade unions from the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Belgium and Germany already has been confirmed," said the Portuguese trade union, which will host the meeting.
A press conference later will be held to publicise the conclusions and outline any actions planned in defence of Ryanair cabin crew across Europe. Further strike action is not being ruled out.
Meanwhile, easyJet has said its new route from Faro to Berlin Tegel that is to start on May 1st, looks like it will be a winner with 314 seats already sold on the first day of the new route.
“Faro is one of the destinations of choice for those visiting Portugal in the summer months and in 2017 was one of the most sought after Portuguese
destinations.
“As a result, on May 1st – the day that the Tegel-Faro route will be inaugurated - more than 178 passengers will fly into Faro airport. We want to continue to put Portugal on the map and we are very excited about the new routes we will announce this summer at IATA 2018," said José Lopes, the director of easyJet in Portugal.
