Ryan Air Cabin Crew Strike

RyanAir has cancelled 250 of the 2,400 flights set to take off on Friday 28th September 2018 due to cabin crew strikes. 100 of the flights were grounded at the last minute when German pilots voted to join the industrial action also taking place in six other countries. Approximately 35,000 people have been affected and most were given only three days warning of the disruption.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) have taken action against RyanAir for ‘misleading’ passengers hit by the strikes, stating that the airline has ‘persistently misled passengers with inaccurate information regarding their rights in respect of its recent cancellations’.

This isn’t the first strike RyanAir have had in 2018, with passengers also being affected by a staff walk-out from 25th-26th July this summer. As a traveller, it is important to make sure you are covered for this eventuality if you’re planning on booking a flight with RyanAir in the future.
