EasyJet stock (GB00B7KR2P84) traded at 6.69 GBP on September 17, 2026, after moving 0.2 percent higher in London trading. Reuters reported the same day that easyJet cabin crew in Portugal voted to strike on October 2 to 6 and again from December 19 to 23.
Strike vote hits the tape
The labor dispute gives investors a concrete risk to watch. According to Reuters on September 17, 2026, the union said the action is linked to poor working conditions and could ground hundreds of flights at Portuguese airports.
That matters because EasyJet operates into a peak travel period in late 2026. The Reuters report also said the complaints center on unstable rosters, breaches of the company agreement and operational planning failures.
Ownership stays active
Wellington Management Group LLP remained a visible holder in the stock on September 17, 2026. According to TradingView, the fund disclosed 15,378,411 shares, equal to 2.03 percent of easyJet's ordinary stock, and reported sales at 6.67 GBP, 6.68 GBP and 6.6820 GBP.
For investors, the combination of a fresh labor dispute and a large institutional disclosure keeps the stock sensitive to any change in travel sentiment. The 52-week range in London trading runs from 3.33 GBP to 6.84 GBP, with the latest intraday high at 6.71 GBP and volume at 91,189 shares on September 17, 2026.
