Overview

• The initial walkout is slated for August 8–11, followed by three further weekend strikes through September 1.
• All airports handled by Menzies—including Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Funchal and Porto Santo—will be affected by the stoppages.
• Ground staff are pressing for higher pay plus deferred night and shift allowances.
• Carriers served by Menzies such as Aer Lingus, Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa and TAP face potential cancellations and baggage delays.
• Passengers hit by cancellations or delays may seek support under EU rights regulations as airlines and the ADAC warn of possible operational restrictions beyond official strike windows.
