It will be an August bank holiday marked by strikes for those traveling to and from Portugal with easyJet, and the consequences could extend to those flying with the British low-cost carrier to other destinations. Flight personnel based in Portugal confirmed. the three-day strike, initially announced two weeks ago, which has already resulted in the cancellation of hundreds of flights scheduled for August 15, 16 and 17.
"We had originally planned 1,138 flights to and from Portugal, but were forced to cancel 232 of them due to the strike," reads a note from the company. Other flights may be delayed or canceled, especially those departing from other countries, which are not subject to the strike notice requirement.

The company points out that only 10 flights will be canceled in Italy and that passengers were informed in time.
"We are truly sorry for this unjustified strike, especially at such an important time for our passengers. Our priority has been to try to minimize the impact of this strike on our customers by canceling some flights early to give them a chance to rearrange their travel in time," the company explained in a note.
