Around 500 flights are expected to be disrupted, potentially affecting airlines such as Tap Air, easyJet, and Ryanair, according to the SNPVAC cabin crew union. Public transport, including Lisbon and Porto Metros, will also be impacted as the FECTRANS transport union joins the industrial action. Tap Air is offering passengers with tickets for 3 June flights the option to change their travel dates without additional charges.
