Do not assume it is automatically due. The cause, applicable passenger-rights regime and the airline's response all matter.
Faro easyJet strike · 2–6 October 2026
Faro easyJet flights face disruption risk during Portugal cabin crew strike
Faro is one of the three airports named in the planned easyJet Portugal cabin crew stoppage from 2 to 6 October. Passengers should not treat the strike announcement as confirmation that a particular flight is cancelled because minimum services and negotiations can alter the schedule.

Reuters reported that the union expects around 500 scheduled easyJet flights to and from Lisbon, Porto and Faro to be grounded across the first strike period, before minimum-service exclusions.
Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
For covered flights, EU261 care, rerouting and refund rights are distinct from any fixed-compensation assessment. An own-airline staff dispute can be legally relevant, but the individual disruption still has to be established.
Refund or rerouting
A cancellation can create travel-remedy rights even where an extraordinary circumstance prevents fixed compensation.
Care and expenses
Where the applicable rules provide a duty of care, reasonable meals, accommodation or transport can remain separate from compensation.
What to do now
Check your Faro flight with easyJet before travelling and keep all schedule-change, cancellation, rebooking and expense evidence.
