New threat to Ryanair Spain flights with cabin crew strikes planned into next year

Ryanair passengers face continuing flights chaos with Spanish cabin crew unions warning they will strike for four days every week until January. Angry crew members, which also operate routes between popular airports in Spain and the UK, will walkout over demands for higher pay and better working conditions.

The strikes will take place from Monday to Thursday every week from August 8 to January 7, a statement from unions said. They are demanding 22 days of holiday and two extra months payment per year.

Ryanair workers caused disruption at many Spanish airports during July, when they walked out for several days, mainly on weekends, but the impact was limited because the country's regulations force airlines and staff to maintain a minimum service. A union statement added: "As the company has been unable to listen to the workers, we have been forced to call new strike days."
