Manchester Airport Passengers Warned as easyJet Strikes Hit Hotspot Next Month
AirHelp says affected passengers could claim up to £520 per person if cancellations or long delays hit easyJet routes.
- EasyJet cabin crew in Portugal, represented by the National Union of Aviation Flight Personnel , will strike from October 2 to October 6 and December 19 to December 23, potentially disrupting flights at Lisbon, Porto, and Faro.
- Manchester Airport passengers face potential disruptions as these union-led staffing disputes are not classified as 'extraordinary circumstances' under aviation regulations, meaning airlines bear responsibility.
- Passengers experiencing significant delays or cancellations may be eligible for up to £520 in compensation under UK261 and EU261 regulations, plus alternative flights, accommodation, food, and drinks.
- AirHelp CEO Tomasz Pawliszyn urged travellers to monitor journeys closely, stating, "The key in these uncertain circumstances is to know your rights, stay well informed on your booking."
- Before heading to Manchester Airport, passengers should verify flight status and allow extra time for connections; those facing cancellations must check if the airline offered refunds or alternative arrangements.
