Mark Barter, Unite regional officer has agreed that due to strike, thousands of EasyJet passengers that have to take their flight from the Stansted airport, during these days will have to face the severe disruptions. According to him, the major disagreement is that the agents that are employed by other companies are already getting 20% more for the same job at Stansted Airport.

EasyJet spokeswoman said they were conscious of the possible dates of strike announced at Stansted Airport by the Stobart Aviation check-in employees. He further added that they will be going for a contingency plan so that the passengers are not adversely affected. Still, it is anticipated that the dispute will be resolved by Stobart Aviation and Unite.

The Stobart Group spokesperson has announced that negotiation and dialogues are being carried with the unite representative and possibly the dispute will be resolved before the start of the strike. However, a contingency plan will be implemented to minimize the disruption for the passengers.

If you have reserved flight during the strike dates, keep yourself updated with the latest information, so that you are aware of any contingency plans made by the officials to facilitate the passengers.
