“Passengers connecting on flights EK191 and EK193 on December 11 will not be accepted for travel at their departure point. Those affected who booked directly with Emirates should contact us for alternative arrangements. Travelers who booked via a travel agency should reach out to their agency for rebooking,” the advisory mentioned.
It is anticipated that about half of Portugal’s workforce will participate in the strike, protesting the proposed labour law changes by the government.
The strike is expected to significantly impact the country’s public transportation. Portugal’s national airline had already begun canceling flights and notifying passengers of the disruptions.
Lisbon is highly favored by tourists globally, including from the UAE, for its enchanting historic appeal, lively culture, delectable cuisine, and comparatively lower costs than other European capitals. It’s also recognized as an emerging hub for digital nomads, drawing millions of tourists annually.
