Ryanair flights strikes

EasyJet cabin crew unions in Spain have called nine days of strikes in July, threatening to add to a summer of disruption for airline passengers.

Meanwhile, the airline said it was taking up options to buy 56 A320neo family planes from Airbus, to modernise the fleet. EasyJet said it was starting to tell customers today whose flights were affected by the reduction in its schedules, and that most would be rebooked on an alternative departure within 24 hours. The union is looking for a 40% pay rise in low-paid cabin staff’s basic wage.

A spokesperson said: "Ryanair has negotiated collective agreements covering 90 per cent of our people across Europe. In recent months we have been negotiating ...

Staff in Spain are expected to strike on June 24-26, June 30, and July 1-2. Unions in Belgium representing staff at the budget airline are the latest to announce walkout plans as the main summer holiday season commences. Much of the strikes will take place this month as Ryanair has said it expects there to be little disruption to flights.

A Ryanair spokesperson has sought to dispel fears of widespread disruption as a result of the strikes though. The walk outs are set to take place in Belgium, Spain and Portugal from June 24-26, in France from June 25-26 and in Italy on June 25.

The strike in Portugal comes just one day after Ryanair's Spanish cabin crew announced a six-day strike. Workers are demanding compliance with Portuguese law and better working conditions, Portugal's union of civil aviation personnel SNPVAC said in a statement. Trade unions claimed they were forced into action because Ryanair was not respecting Belgian labour law covering such issues as the minimum wage or pay of cabin staff. UK cabin crew have not voted to strike, but the dispute could potentially affect thousands of summer holidaymakers. A Ryanair spokesperson said last week the unions should return to the negotiating table to deliver improvements instead of disrupting passenger travel plans. They also announced plans for a strike in Spain on June 24, June 25, June 26, June 30, and July 1-2.
