Strike at Faro Airport 22-28Dec

[Geoff]

We are arriving on 30 December, so any more news would be welcome please!

[Michael Crane]

What airline, Geoff?

[Polly]

Unfortunately we are flying out on the 29th on Easyjet from Bristol. We will keep looking at the information on this topic as it seems to be the best source of information.

Thanks in anticipation for any help.

Easyjet do nt use Groundforce at Faro - they use Portway.

Monarch, TAP & Ryanair use Groundforce.

[Polly]

It would seem that portway are joining Groundforce in strike action. This has been mentioned previously in this thread.

Just got back on the Monarch flight to Birmingham. There were only around 30 of us. The flight left early and I was home by 3pm.

Let's hope our flight on Tuesday is the same.

See you next Christmas at MaJas again.

Disappointed that it took you an hour and twenty minutes to report your arrival !!!!!!!

Seems Monarch have made other arrangements for their clients during the strike action.
