Ryanair’s pilots union deal opens up France
Ryanair’s costly acceptance of trade unions is proving to have a bright side: the carrier aims to open 2 bases in France, where its hard-line labour policies have allowed only a limited presence. Ryanair aims to station 5 jets at each of the hubs, according to CCO David O’Brien, who said Tuesday that the company has met representatives of airports in Nantes, Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon and Toulouse. Talks on recognising French labour groups are ongoing. While Ryanair has served France for years, the carrier has done so with aircraft stationed elsewhere, and has never been able to establish the permanent bases and local employee structures that have served as a springboard to dominance in other countries. Markets including Scandinavia may also now open up. <br/>
