This is very bad news for Ryanair. The Irish low-cost airline has just been notified of new strikes by its employees. The first 48-hour strike will take place starting August 22, followed by a second strike from September 2 to 4…
These strikes could directly impact flight service quality, causing delays or, worse, cancellations.
The strike was officially announced by the BALPA union, which represents Ryanair pilots. For them, these strikes are an opportunity to protest against Ryanair’s low wage policy towards its staff.
This is another blow for the low-cost carrier: the company has already faced several years of strikes and social demands from its pilots and cabin crew. Working conditions and salary policies have long been strongly criticized by Ryanair employees, without a full agreement being reached.
Therefore, we recommend travelers flying with Ryanair in August and September to stay alert and take precautions. You can already contact the airline and/or your airport to anticipate any inconvenience and possibly change your ticket.
