Across the world, the coming holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for travelers returning to spend time with their families or getting away for a well-earned vacation. I guess that’s what makes it a popular time for airlines to consider going on strike, when the pressure is really on management to keep them flying. If you’re traveling with any of these airlines, watch out for possible strikes:
-
Cathay Pacific seems currently to have avoided the threat of a strike by flight attendants about a controversial health plan. If nothing else goes wrong, international flights connecting through busy hub Hong Kong should continue as planned.
-
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) is threatened by a strike by members of several unions, including the flight attendants; the problems are being caused by talk of reducing the workforce. Flights throughout and connecting with Scandinavia would be affected.
-
Qantas is having troubles with its maintenance engineers, who are concerned the airline is going to move their jobs out of Australia and to cheaper locations abroad. Flights in to, out of and around Australia could be interrupted.
-
Air Malta might not be able to serve its passengers if the pilots decide to go on strike over deadlocked negotiations for their new salary and working conditions agreement.
