No-frills airline Ryanair has pledged that cabin crew walkouts in Spain will not cause disruption for passengers. The first in a five-month campaign of weekly walkouts have started but bosses state they will have no impact on travellers.
The strikes over pay and conditions involve members of the SITCPLA and USO unions and will take place every Monday to Thursday until early January. The airline operates flights to and from Alicante, Barcelona, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Madrid, Ibiza, Murcia, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.
Ryanair claimed just “a handful” of its Spanish cabin crew are members of the unions involved and said the walkouts will cause “zero disruption” in August and September. The majority of Ryanair’s Spanish cabin crew are represented by the CCOO union, which has already agreed a deal with the airline.
