Thousands of travellers affected in Europe by Ryanair strike
Thousands of travellers in Europe saw their plans disrupted Friday after Ryanair cancelled more than 200 flights because of strikes by cabin crew in Spain, Belgium, Holland, Portugal, Italy and Germany. The airline says it had informed passengers of possible disruptions ahead of time, giving them time to adjust. In Tenerife, hundreds of passengers queued at Ryanair counters and dozens more at the Madrid airport as 86 flights of the company from or to Spain were cancelled, affecting some 16,000 passengers. The unions blame the company for breaking talks over the company's ratio of outsourced workers, working conditions and their demand for local contracts instead of Irish ones. Thursday, Ryanair blamed cabin crews of competitors for organising the strikes and blocking "significant progress" in labour negotiations. <br/>
