The pilots of the Portuguese airline "TAP Portugal»Intend to arrange a four-day pre-New Year strike.

As it became known, the strike is primarily related to the upcoming reduction of airline staff. It is expected that in the event of a strike, flights of «TAP Portugal» in Moscow and St. Petersburg can not take place that lead to the fact that the number of Russian tourists can stay to celebrate New Year's Eve at the airport.

There is no official information as to whether a strike will take place or not, as of the current date, but this probability is not excluded. Representatives of the Portuguese airline are currently developing a set of measures to protect their passengers, but there is no more detailed information on this matter.
