Industrial action is also currently being held in France.
Despite strike set for 12 July to 15 July, 18 July to 21 July and 25 July to 28 July within 10 Spanish Airports, Ryanair are confident this will not affect their scheduled flights from Ireland.
In a statement released on Saturday (2 July), the budget airline said:
“as a result of minor and poorly supported union led strikes in Spain and we do not expect any disruption to Irish flight schedules in July (12th-28th) as a result of such poorly supported Spanish labour strikes”.
In a statement released by the unions in relation to the strikes, they called on the Spanish Government to deal with the situation:
Do not “allow Ryanair to violate labour legislation and constitutional rights such as the right to strike”.
