STRIKE OUT

Ryanair strikes: All the key routes affected – find out if YOUR flight is on the list

RYANAIR workers are on strike this week in a dispute over working conditions and pay.

So which days are staff striking on, and which routes will be affected?

Ryanair routes affected by strikes

Cabin crew for Ryanair will walk out today, at 10 airports across Spain.

In a joint statement the SICTPLA and USO unions said: “The unions and crew of Ryanair demand a change of attitude from the airline.'

They also called on the Spanish authorities not to allow the firm to "violate labour legislation and constitutional rights such as the right to strike”.

Ryanair said it was expecting “minimal (if any) disruption to its flight schedules in July as a result of minor and poorly-supported Spanish labour strikes”.

“Less than 1 per cent of Ryanair’s flights have been affected in the past month by recent minor and poorly supported cabin crew strikes called by unions who are either not recognised by or who represent tiny numbers of Ryanair crews,” the airline said.

“Air Traffic Control (ATC) and airport staff shortages across Europe, which are beyond Ryanair’s control, may however cause some minor disruption, and any passengers whose flights are disrupted by ATC staff shortages will be notified of their entitlements by email/SMS.”

When are the Ryanair strikes?

The strikes come as travellers face chaos at airports.

Sun-seekers have been hit by cancellations and delays as low-staffing numbers hit air travel firms this summer.

Added to that, workers at some of the major carriers have been taking industrial action, including Easyjet and British Airways.
