Ryanair warns of "complications" over the weekend after peaceful strike June 24, 2022 Ryanair warns of "complications" over the weekend after peaceful strike The airline predicts delays on the second and third days of work stoppages in Spain, but blames French air traffic controllers Ryanair warns of possible delays on its flights in Spain tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, if the strike of its cabin crew (TCP), which began today, continues, but blames another work stoppage: That of the French air traffic controllers. The Irish airline said this in a statement warning of "certain disruptions" tomorrow and the day after in France, Italy and Spain due to the two-day strike by French air traffic control. The mobilization will result in "significant delays or impact on flights transiting French airspace," the operator added. 98% on time Despite the warning of complications on June 25 and 26, Ryanair expects "98% of flights to operate normally" on the two days French air traffic controllers have called a strike. If this is the case, the company will have survived the first weekend of industrial action in Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, France and Ireland without serious disruption. In these countries, the airline has not detected any "disruptions". The strike: "very bad." The reason is that "most crews are working as usual." He adds that it is a "minor" and "barely supported" protest by workers in the affected countries. In fact, the low-cost airline admits complications only in Belgium, where it has been able to operate only about 60% of its scheduled flights from Charleroi and Zaventem airports. Complex summer The first day of the mobilization of Ryanair staff has ended without major incidents, but with controversy. The USO has announced that it will charge the airline with violating the right to strike. These strikes are an anticipation of similar actions, for example, at easyJet, whose staff will strike in Spain next week, the first weekend of the summer schedule. A major strike by ground staff at London Heathrow is also expected to affect air traffic across the continent. https://cronicaglobal.elespanol.com/business/ryanair-huelga-fin-semana-san-juan_690890_102.html?a_aid=not
