KLM is facing a financial setback with losses surpassing €30 million attributed to strikes by ground crew at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Continuing industrial actions threaten to augment these losses by an additional €10 million. The ongoing disruptions come as KLM navigates a rigorous cost-saving program against a backdrop of stiff competition and heightened aviation taxes.
Embraer is facing an indefinite strike by metalworkers at its Brazilian plant since September 17, 2025. The workers seek wage increases and improved labor agreements. Despite the strike, Embraer’s operations continue unaffected, with the company maintaining its year-end production targets. This labor action reflects broader trends of unrest within the aviation industry as workers push for better conditions amid high demand and inflationary pressures.
