Ryanair pilots are back on strike and will be on strike the last weekend of July, two weeks after a similar action.
In an attempt to deal with the strikes, the low-cost airline then sent emails to its customers, especially French ones, asking them to sign a petition to ask the European Commission “to demand that all EU states protect overflights during air traffic controller strikes”, reports Liberation.
“During the first half of 2023, there were sixty days of strikes by French air traffic controllers (twelve times more than in 2022), causing the cancellation of thousands of EU overflights from Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK and Ireland, while France, in particular, uses minimum service laws to protect its domestic flights,” says Ryanair.
The goal? Ryanair wants to force air traffic controllers to notify their superiors in advance if they wish to go on strike (at least three weeks in advance). Companies could thus adapt more easily to strikes to reduce their impact. This obligation already concerns certain sectors such as railway workers in France.
