Flights May Be Cancelled Due to Strikes in UK Holiday Spots

There will be two airport strikes in the UK soon.

Holiday flights will be affected by a big strike. Portuguese media says flights will be cancelled because cabin crew and ground staff are walking out.

EasyJet says there will be flight problems. TAP and SATA are letting people rebook flights for free. Many airport services in Portugal will be affected on June 3. Up to 500 flights might be cancelled.

There will be a big transport strike in Italy. It will cause problems for holidaymakers. The strike will affect trains, airports, and buses from May 28 to May 29.

Many unions are taking part in the strike in Italy. It will affect long-distance trains and busy routes. Cities like Rome and Milan will be affected.

Italy's government has made a list of services that must keep running during the strike. Flights are protected during certain hours.

In Portugal, TAP and SATA are letting people rebook flights for free. They are telling passengers about the changes.

Unions are talking about how many flights will be cancelled. Air traffic controllers are also striking, so there will be cancellations.

EasyJet says it will try to minimize the problems. The airline is looking at how the strike will affect its flights and will tell customers if their flights are affected.

The pilots' union is not taking part in the strike this time. They decided not to join the strike.

The pilots' union president says the first strike was timely. He says the next strike is not at the right time, but they might take action later.

The pilots' union is not striking, but other unions are. The ground staff and handling personnel union has joined the strike.

The CGTP has announced a general strike for June 3. It is against the changes to the labour law.

The hospitality sector is worried about the strike. The Portuguese Hotel and Restaurant Association says the strike will make their losses worse.

The association says airports are already having problems. The general strike will make things worse. They want the European Union's Entry/Exit System to be suspended.

The association says Portugal is promoting itself as a great destination, but visitors are having bad experiences at airports.

The association wants the EES to be suspended until the end of September. It would make passenger checks faster and reduce waiting times.

The association is calling for negotiation to avoid the strike. It would cause more damage to sectors that are already struggling.

The Federation of Transport and Communications Unions supports the general strike. Many workers will be taking part.

Unions for teachers, architects, doctors, nurses, and journalists also support the protest. It will affect the whole country.
