Ryanair cancels 400 flights as pilots in 5 countries strike
Ryanair canceled around 400 flights in Europe, most of them in Germany, as pilots in 5 countries staged strikes as long-running tensions between the LCC and its workforce come to a head. Pilots in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden and Ireland followed calls by their respective unions, which was coordinated to maximise pressure on the airline, although demands differ by country. Ryanair operates around 2,000 flights per day in the summer. Following the largest ever pilot strike at the carrier, union representatives made clear they are prepared to sustain a long dispute and that further walkouts even at short notice will follow if management does not come up with new offers. In Germany, both pay and conditions are subject of negotiations. <br/>
