Over 30 years after the events, the Portuguese State will be required to compensate the workers of the former Air Atlantis (AIA) who were dismissed by TAP in 1993. This decision comes following the liquidation of the airline.
The affected workers were let go by TAP when Air Atlantis was liquidated, in a process that dragged on for decades without a solution being found to reimburse the former employees of the company.
The case directly involves the Portuguese State, TAP, and the former Air Atlantis workers, in a labor dispute that lasted over three decades until the now-announced resolution.
This compensation corrects a situation that remained pending since the early 1990s, when the company ceased operations and its workers were left without the compensation owed for the company's closure.
