Travel-loving union boss behind flight misery for millions of holidaymakers

A BEER-swilling Portuguese firebrand is among the union bosses ramping up travel misery for millions of holidaymakers this summer.

Union chief Ricardo Penarroias has posted scores of online pictures of himself knocking back the pints at holiday hotspots all over the world.

But few Britons will be raising a glass to him on holiday this summer after his National Union of Civil Aviation Flight Personnel was blamed for 350 easyJet cancellations last week.

Union president Penarroias announced his third strike since the beginning of the year to thrash out a new labour deal for 2023 to 2035.

His industrial action has led to the axe for hundreds of flights to or from Lisbon, Porto and Faro – the equivalent of 69 per cent of all booked.
