💨 Abstract

This summer, traveling to Portugal may face disruptions due to ongoing ground staff strikes at major airports, affecting flights from the UK and popular destinations like Lisbon, Faro, Porto Santo, Madeira, and the Azores. Strikes occur every weekend through August, causing potential delays and cancellations. Issues include low wages and staffing shortages. Passengers may not be entitled to compensation as strikes are considered "extraordinary circumstances."
