Planes grounded as pilots strike BUDGET airline Ryanair ’s biggest ever strike takes place today with flights across Europe cancelled. It remains to be seen how many local flights will be affected, though it has been confirmed 8 per cent of a total
2,400 will not go ahead. And it is hoped that passengers using Malaga-Costa Del Sol Airport are not expected to be overly inconvenienced. The action comes as German pilots announced they will also join the stand down by cabin
crew in Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and Italy. Ryanair’s Chief Operations Officer Peter Bellew said: “It is deeply disappointing that some of our customers and our people in Germany will have their flights disrupted by an unnec-
essary strike called at short notice by the Lufthansa controlled VC Union. “This is another example of a strike being organised in Ryanair by a union controlled by competitor airline employees.”
