EVA Air losses reach US$26m as cabin crew strike continues
EVA Air’s cabin crew strike has entered its seventh day, becoming the longest strike in Taiwan’s aviation history. The airline said losses have reached US$26m and it is expected to lose up to $34.3m in the coming days. The airline has stopped taking reservations until June 29. Cancellations have reached into the first week of July with around 390 more flights canceled, reaching 1,016 in total. In all, about 210,000 passengers are affected as the carrier scrambles to reassign affected customers to other airlines. While both the airline and the Taoyuan Flight Attendants Union (TFAU) are at an impasse over the resolution of the crew’s demands, EVA Air has accused the TFAU for withholding the identity passes and documents of about 100 cabin crew who wish to return to their posts. <br/>
