According to a report by ECO, the minimum services cover a connecting flight or round trip, on the routes between Lisbon and the airports of Funchal, Geneva, London and Porto Santo. From Porto, the connection to Geneva, Luxembourg, Paris, London and Porto Santo is included.

SNPVAC claims that the 52 flights are far below the company's target. “Although the SNPVAC maintains the understanding that there is a substantial offer of flights made to these destinations by other airlines, thus safeguarding the imperative needs that the legislator intends to safeguard with the setting of minimum services, we cannot fail to emphasise that the number set is far below the 160 intended by the company initially", says the statement.

easyJet cabin crew in Portugal have called a strike for 1, 2 and 3 April, after an impasse in negotiations with the company. In the note released last week, the SNPVAC recalled that, since the last meeting, on March 9, the members of this airline have been mandated “to continue the negotiation process and to resort to any means of struggle that may be considered pertinent, including the last resort: the right to strike”.

“Taking into account the current moment of negotiations, the impasse experienced and the intransigent and incomprehensible stance on the part of easyJet, a letter was sent to the company, to the Ministry of Infrastructure, Ministry of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security, Ministry of Economy and Mar and DGERT, communicating a strike notice for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of April 2023”, indicated the SNPVAC on March 17.
