TAIPEI: Taiwan’s Eva Airways has cancelled 550 more flights scheduled through mid-July as a cabin crew strike entered its 14th day, after latest negotiations on work conditions and wages broke down this week.
Flight attendants at the Taiwanese airline went on strike on June 20 after a months-long discussion between the two yielded no results, disrupting over 2,000 flights and impacting about 405,000 passengers, including the latest cancellations.The strike, the longest in Taiwan’s aviation history where labour unrest is uncommon, has led Eva to estimate a revenue loss of about T$1.75bil (RM233mil).
