EasyJet Cabin Crew Strike Continues and Could Run Through September 2

Unions say management's silence risks prolonged disruption.

Overview

  • The strike by EasyJet cabin crew remains active after a weekend that cancelled about one hundred flights and affected thousands of passengers.
  • Crew members say core grievances are organizational, citing repeated last‑minute announcements of next‑day rosters that unsettle schedules and workloads.
  • Union leaders say they filed their strike notice properly and are calling for urgent talks while reporting no response from EasyJet management.
  • Some travellers are stranded abroad and unions place responsibility on EasyJet to arrange repatriation; affected passengers can seek refunds and compensation for delays over three hours via the airline's website form.
  • Unions warn the action could continue until September 2, which would extend disruption across the late summer travel peak and heighten pressure for immediate negotiations and operational solutions.
