Ryanair cabin crew is Spain have begun five months of strike action. The walkouts, which began on Monday (August 8), will take place every week from Monday to Thursday.
Members of two Ryanair cabin crew unions, Unión Sindical Obrera (USO) and Sitcpla, are taking action. So far this summer, similar action has taken place over 18 days, causing 310 cancellations and around 3,455 delays.
In July, Ryanair, which has flights from Newcastle Airport, reached a pay deal with French and Spanish pilots after a separate dispute. The airline claimed that the current cabin crew walkouts would cause “minimal (if any) disruption”.
