Ryanair cancels 400 flights as pilots strike

Ryanair was forced to cancel nearly 400 flights due to a strike by some of the biggest market pilots on Friday.

The discount airline said it canceled flights to Germany, Ireland, Belgium and Sweden, affecting thousands of passengers. Approximately 15% of regular airline flights will be affected

The Royan Air (RYAAY) pilot in the Netherlands also strikes on Friday, but their actions did not lead to the cancellation of the flight

In recent months, the airline has been forced to cancel hundreds of flights, drop the reputation of reliable service, and received a series of employee strikes. In addition, due to a strike by a French air traffic controller, Ryan Air canceled about 1,500 flights and postponed more than 7,000 flights.

At the end of 2017 when the union was forced to approve for the first time due to lack of pilot and imminent holiday strike, Ryanair overturned decades policies.

It already recognizes the union, but the airline has not signed any labor contracts. It meets the demands of workers with its unique struggle approach.

Ryanair announced in July that the Irish pilot's attack will reduce the fleet by 20% in Dublin this winter this winter. It warned 100 pilots and 200 crew members who may lose their job to show that they paid their generous wages and post pilot salaries on their website

Ryanair's chief marketing officer, Kenny Jacobs recently said airlines are not ready to admit that "unfair demands will damage our low fare or high efficiency models."

This turmoil shows that Ryan Air is no longer a rookie for the industry that is no longer competitive big advantage. At the moment we are faced with the same pressure as a conventional airline. Many of them are trying to imitate low cost strategy in recent years.

Nonetheless, the conflict with the union is unlikely to leave the CEO Michael O'Leary, who led the airline from 1994 until the end of 2019.

After the failure of the contract led to the cancellation of a large flight at the end of 2017, he abandoned a prize of up to 1 million euros ($ 1.2 million).

Friday's Ryanair shares fell 1%. Stock prices fell about 30% from last year's record.

Ryanair refused to provide a list of affected flights, but earlier this week it said 250 flights to and from Germany would not take off on Friday. An airline last week announced that in Ireland on its website, Ryanair said that 25% of the pilots attacked the 5 th and 20 flights were canceled.

RYANAIR will cancel the Scotland flight from Scotland to London. Ryanair announced it would cancel flights from Edinburgh to Glasgow and London Stansted. This movement means that between November and March, the airline will fly in Glasgow at 18 flights per week and Edinburgh at 26 flights per week. After the company acknowledged "to make a list of experimental holidays", the movement to cancel the flight was realized. The airline plans to cancel 18,000 flights during the winter and affects travel plans for approximately 400,000 passengers. It will reduce 25 aircraft to reduce the risk of further cancellation. Earlier this month, Irish Airways canceled up to 50 flights a day until the end of October.

Ryanair has released the latest news from these three countries on Twitter on Friday. First of all, it was announced that an Irish pilot strike was announced: "As FORSA convoked a few of our Irish pilot's fifth striker (25%), we got 20 (7% Plan I will regret to cancel 300 roundtrip flights August 10, next Friday, Ireland

Ryan is attributed to the holiday schedule in the past two years Some of them encountered a number of pilot questions, but in the meantime, the pilot to force a better work contract and to cancel the flight We take action to request airline companies to reconsider the labor union and the fleet that is participating in the industry. Ryan Air said the competition with competing airline pilots exacerbated the situation. Airlines invested millions of dollars into a new simulator to speed up the training of new pilots. It even expressed interest in leaving a single aircraft fleet to explore the Airbus A320 aircraft, it would allow airlines to lease from larger fleet qualified pilots. This abandoned Ryanair's cost structure and changed the successful business model. However, if Ryanair can keep on flight, it can compensate for the increase in passenger demand and the airline's strong supplementary retail strategy.
