Ryanair scraps plan to cut Dublin fleet after pilot vote
Ryanair said it would not cut its Dublin-based fleet this winter after IALPA voted to accept a collective agreement, bringing to a close weeks of tense negotiations and a series of strikes. The carrier’s board has decided to restore 6 aircraft destined for transfer to Poland this winter to Dublin and has also withdrawn the notice it had given 300 Dublin-based pilots and cabin crew that their jobs were at risk, it said. In July, Ryanair warned it would cut its Dublin-based fleet from 30 to 24 aircraft for winter 2018 because of rapid growth at its Polish charter airline and a downturn in forward bookings and air fares in Ireland, partly caused by strikes. It said 300 pilots and cabin crew would be given notice that their Dublin-based jobs were at risk in a move Forsa, the union of which IALPA is a branch, called “provocative” at the time. <br/>
