BRITS heading to Portugal this summer could face huge travel disruption because of a potential strike by fuel tanker drivers.
If the strike goes ahead, it could mean flights are cancelled or diverted due to a shortage of fuel.
A strike by truck drivers in April this year left several Portuguese airports short of fuel, including Faro, one of the biggest tourist hubs in the country.
It was the worst industrial action faced by the Socialist government in its four-year administration.
The fuel shortage meant that several flights with airlines including easyJet and Ryanair were diverted or cancelled altogether.
Now, Portuguese fuel tanker drivers are threatening a new strike over better wages and working conditions, which would start from August 12.
