CTT Correios de Portugal has advised that Menzies, which provides ground handling services, has announced strike action at Portugal's mainland airports during July and August, scheduled as follows (from Friday to the following Monday in each case):
* From 00.00 on 25 July to 24.00 on 28 July;
* From 00.00 on 8 August to 24.00 on 11 August;
* From 00.00 on 15 August to 24.00 on 18 August;
* From 00.00 on 22 August to 24.00 on 25 August;
* From 00.00 on 29 August to 24.00 on 1 September.
As normal ground handling operations cannot be guaranteed during these periods, disruption to both inbound and outbound mail services is to be expected.
