UK passengers could face further travel disruption as EasyJet cabin crew based in Spain are planning to strike for nine days in July. They will stage three separate walkouts over the month, between July 1-3, July 15-17 and July 29-31 - in the row over pay.
The low-cost airline’s flight attendants in the popular holiday destination are demanding a 40 per cent increase to their basic salaries. Although the dispute involves crew flying out of Spain, they frequently operate services to the UK.
Miguel Galan, a spokesperson for the union, said: "The company underestimated the outlook, was more pessimistic and conservative and is not ready for the demand." However, he insisted the union hoped an agreement could be reached to avoid the walkout.
