Cabin crew strike at Lisbon and Porto airports threatens major flight disruptions

Based on · First reported 1 Oct 2026

The National Union of Flight Attendants of Civil Aviation (SNPVAC) has called a cabin‑crew strike at Lisbon and Porto airports that will run until 6 October, according to a report from sapo.pt.
The union says the action is driven by unmet employer demands, working‑conditions concerns and alleged breaches of existing agreements, and warns that the walk‑out could cause significant delays and cancellations on both domestic and international services, prompting airlines to develop contingency plans and urging passengers to verify flight status before travelling.
