Ryanair reaches 5-year deal with pilot unions in France, Spain

Ryanair said on Thursday it reached a five-year agreement with labour unions representing pilots in France and in Spain to improve work conditions. The agreements, ratified by both parties on Monday, include a return to pre-COVID salaries and "allow wage improvements and other benefits beyond the full return to salaries for Ryanair pilots based in France and in Spain," the airline said. Spanish pilot union SEPLA said details still have to be ironed out before a final labour agreement is signed.<br/>
