Ryanair cancels flights for 30,000 passengers due to the French strike

Tens of thousands of passengers were exposed to a monitoring kick of the French Air Force, which canceled flights in France on Thursday and Friday and had an impact in another place in Europe.

The Budget Airlines said that it was forced to cancel more than 170 flights, and holiday plans have been disrupted for more than 30,000 passengers.

Two French unions were transporting the two -day strike on the working conditions, which led to the cancellation of a quarter of flights at the main airports in Paris and a half of flights at Nice Airport.

French Transport Minister Philip Taparut has condemned that he is unacceptable to both unions and their decision to strike at this important time for people who go to a vacation.

Rianaire said the strike not only affects his flights to and from France, but also aircraft flying over the French airspace to destinations including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Greece.

The CEO, Michael Olyer, accused air traffic monitors of “detention of European families to the ransom.”

European Commission President Ursula von der Layen called for “urgent measures” to ensure the minimum levels of service during strikes and protect French flights from local industrial work: “It is not logical and does not significantly return to the European Union passengers on vacations.”

The Civil Aviation Authority in France, DGAC, asked airlines to reduce flight schedules at many airports throughout the country.

The turmoil in French airports is expected to increase on Friday, with a number of flights by 40 % of Paris airports in Charles de Gaulle, Urla and Biovis.

The strike was called by the UNSA-SNA Union, which indicated the lack of employment, management issues and planned entry of a controversial watch system of control units among its concerns. The conversations with DGAC earlier this week failed to resolve the conflict.

The airlines of Europe (A4E), the leading aviation body on the continent, described the strike as “unbearable”, warning that it will disrupt the travel plans strongly at the height of the holiday season.

Easyjet, another low -cost airline affected by turmoil, has expressed “deep disappointment” and urged a solution.

Ryanier said on Wednesday that he was subjected to the recent conflict in the Middle East and canceled more than 800 flights last month.

Despite the cancellation, the airline said it still runs more than 109,000 flights in June, indicating that less than 1 % of flights were affected.
