TAP continues to state that it has no late payments to Groundforce. This is a response to the accusation made by the ‘handling company’ who accused the airline of a debt of 12 million euros for services already provided.
Remember that this is a "war" that had the effects of a strike by Groundforce workers over the weekend., causing numerous flight cancellations at Lisbon airports, Porto, Faro, Funchal e Porto Santo.
According to the statement released late Saturday afternoon, Gorundforce claimed that it would be enough for TAP to pay the outstanding amount (12 million euros of billing issued, according to Groundforce) for the services already rendered so that salaries could be regularized.
in turn and in response, TAP reiterates that has done everything in its power to avoid this situation and that no payments to the ‘handling company are in arrears’.
Groundforce has already said that the stoppage will last for days 31 de Julho, 01 e 02 de Agosto, which led ANA to warn of constraints at national airports, cancellations and delays on flights assisted by Groundforce, at the airports of Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Funchal e Porto Santo.
Remember that in addition to this strike, desde o dia 15 of July that Groundforce workers are also carrying out an overtime strike, which goes on until 24:00 do dia 31 de Outubro de 2021.
