Ryanair’s UK pilots have averted industrial action by accepting a deal to restore pre-Covid pay rates. Pilots' union Balpa agreed the deal which will reverse pay cuts imposed at the start of the pandemic.
A spokesperson for the pilots’ union Balpa said: “Following the intense negotiations Ryanair put forward a revised offer. Balpa members were balloted and voted to accept the offer.” More than 70 per cent of Ryanair's UK-based pilots are covered by the new agreement.
The announcement came as unions representing Ryanair cabin crew in Belgium, Portugal, France and Italy prepare to strike for between one and three days each later this week.
