EasyJet has said “no Northern Ireland flights” will be affected by cancellations as workers prepare to go on strike.
The airline has been forced to cancel 232 flights to and from Portugal over the next few days as air cabin crew go on strike.
More than a quarter of the planes due to take off will remain on the ground from August 15 to 17.
There are EasyJet flights from Belfast International Airport to Faro in Portugal.
When asked if Northern Ireland will be impacted, an Easyjet spokesperson said: “There are no Northern Ireland flights included in these cancellations, which are related to strike action in Portugal.
“These cancellations were made in advance to allow customers time to rearrange their travel plans and affected customers already contacted a number of days ago with their options to rebook or receive a refund, and no Belfast flights were included in this.”
According to Portuguese newspaper Expresso, a total of 1,138 EasyJet flights were expected to take place over this period.
The strike action, which was first announced at the end of July, was originally expected to impact 160 flights.
But it has now been revealed that more than 200 flights will be impacted in total, with 27 flights affected to and from the UK.
Brits planning on travelling to the popular holiday destination have been urged to check the status of their flights using the airline’s online flight checker.
EasyJet runs flights from many airports across the UK, including London Gatwick, Luton, Glasgow, Manchester and Bristol.
It flies to a number of popular tourist destinations in Portugal, including Lisbon, Porto and Faro, as well as the Algarve coast.
Earlier this month, Portugal’s National Civil Aviation Flight Staff Union appealed to the ‘common sense of the company, so that it can give in to fair demands of its workers’.
Cabin crew union SNPVAC also urged Easyjet to ‘find solutions to avoid’ the strike and criticised the airline for disregarding its previous suggestions to prevent the strike action, the Mirror reported.
Ricardo Penarroias, president of the union, said working conditions had worsened, citing longer working hours and staff shortages. Staff are also asking for higher bonuses.
An EasyJet spokesperson said 27 return flights between the UK and Portugal have been cancelled ahead of the strike period.
