On Tuesday, Ryanair said that it did not expect significant disruption as a result of the strike, but stressed that it could not rule out some delays or changes to flights.

In a statement on 1 August, the SNPVAC said that the strike notice covers all Ryanair flights with check-in times between 00:00 and 23:59 local times on the days scheduled for the shutdown.

In the meantime, given that there was no agreement between Ryanair and the union, the government has decreed minimum services to be provided during the stoppage, covering not only the Azores and Madeira but also the European cities of Berlin, Cologne, London and Paris.
