Briefings

EasyJet contests SNPVAC figures claiming it cancelled 370+ flights during a cabin crew strike, asserting it actually operated 428 flights by cancelling 343 in advance. The strike began October 2, 2026, with 100% union participation, though the company argues its early cancellations were strategic to minimize passenger disruption. The conflict stems from wage disputes and scheduling stability, with a second strike scheduled for December 19-23, 2026. Passengers are advised to check flight status via the company's Flight Tracker.

Key points

• EasyJet claims it operated 428 flights during the October 2026 cabin crew strike, having cancelled 343 flights in advance to minimize disruption.
• The SNPVAC reported nearly 370 flight cancellations since the strike began on October 2, 2026, with 100% union participation.

Context and limitations

Data reflects the company's official response published October 5, 2026, which may not account for post-strike operational changes or the December 2026 second strike.
