Less than 2% of Ryanair flights affected by strike


DUBLIN, June 26 (Reuters) – Less than 2% of Ryanair flights scheduled between Friday and Sunday were affected by strikes by cabin crew, the Irish low-cost carrier said.

Ryanair cabin crew unions in Belgium, Spain, Portugal, France and Italy had announced actions throughout the weekend, with crews in Spain set to strike again on June 30 and June 1 and 2. July.

“Less than 2% of Ryanair’s 9,000 flights operated this weekend (June 24, 25 and 26) were affected by minor and poorly monitored crew strikes,” Ryanair said in a statement.

The unions claim that the Irish airline does not respect the Labor Codes of the countries concerned, particularly in terms of minimum pay, and are urging Ryanair bosses to improve working conditions.

Ryanair told Reuters last week that it had negotiated working arrangements for 90% of its staff in Europe and did not expect widespread disruption this summer. (Conor Humphries report, French version Benjamin Mallet)
