TAP strike threat to Gatwick flights

02.06.09

Flights between Gatwick and Porto could be severely disrupted between June 4 - 13 if pilots from TAP Air Portugal subsidiary Portugalia go ahead with their threat to strike. Some domestic flights within Portugal will also be hit, but Heathrow flights to and from Portugal and flights from Gatwick to Madeira (Funchal) will not be affected.

A spokesman for TAP said it was doing all that it could to avoid the stoppages and remains optimistic that the issues on pay and conditions can be resolved without the need for strike action. If the strike goes ahead, TAP will put passengers on its flights departing from Heathrow where possible. In addition, . passengers holding confirmed bookings can change their travel plans without charge.
