Briefings
Azores Airlines cabin crew announced a three-day strike if management fails to respond within ten days to labor demands. The Extraordinary General Assembly of the Civil Aviation Workers' Union (SNPVAC) approved the motion by 48 votes to 5, with 8 abstentions, on October 30, 2026. Key demands include fulfilling the Enterprise Agreement, correcting scheduling irregularities and medical leave counting, and addressing flexible scheduling rights. The union cites a deteriorating climate, financial losses of 37.1 million euros in the first half of 2026, and unresolved disputes over flight cancellations and route reductions.
Key points
- The Extraordinary General Assembly of the SNPVAC approved a three-day strike if Azores Airlines does not present satisfactory solutions within ten days.
- The union cites a deteriorating climate, financial losses of 37.1 million euros in the first half of 2026, and unresolved disputes over flight cancellations and route reductions.
Context
The strike is a direct response to the union's demands for labor rights fulfillment and financial transparency. The company faces significant financial losses and operational challenges, including reduced routes and flight cancellations. The union emphasizes that the strike aims to enforce the Enterprise Agreement rather than seek salary increases, highlighting the tension between operational needs and employee rights.
Limitations

It does not provide details on the company's privatization process, the exact timeline of route reductions, or the specific nature of the financial losses beyond the 37.1 million euro figure. The source does not confirm the final outcome of the dispute resolution process.
