Ryanair Schedules Extra Flights to Facilitate Stranded Passengers
OREANDA-NEWS. Ryanair, Europe’s only ultra-low cost carrier (ULCC), today (13 June) announced it had scheduled four extra flights on Friday 14th June between London Stansted and Malaga and Palma, in order to facilitate passengers who have had their flights cancelled followed the French ATC strike on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Up to 90,000 Ryanair passengers have been affected by the unwarranted two-day strike, which forced Ryanair to cancel over 600 flights and caused widespread disruption across Europe. Ryanair has resumed normal operations today with no further cancellations while it continues to re-accommodate passengers across Europe.
Several Ryanair flights still have vacant seat capacity over the coming days and passengers are encouraged to visit www.ryanair.com for further information. Ryanair sincerely apologises to passengers for any inconvenience caused by circumstances which are entirely beyond its control.
Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said:
“We have added four additional flights between London Stansted and Malaga and London Stansted and Palma, which will operate on Friday 14th June and passengers wishing to travel should contact their airport ticket desk or Ryanair call centre to move onto these additional flights. There is still some seat capacity available on flights operating over the coming days and we recommend that passengers check our website for new seat availability to their booked destination or other nearby Ryanair departure or arrival airports.
Our schedule is running as normal and we have had no cancellations so far, although passengers should expect some delays at airports given the knock-on effect of 600 flight cancellations over the past two days. However, the danger remains that air traffic controllers, both in France and elsewhere, could stage further strikes, especially given the ‘success’ of their selfish and unwarranted strike action that they will have no doubt enjoyed, which caused misery to so many passengers.
These air traffic controllers deliberately initiated industrial action at the busiest time of the year in order to cause maximum chaos, targeting Europe’s holidaymakers, who have had their travel plans disrupted through no fault of theirs, or of Ryanair’s. We again call on the EU Commission to remove the air traffic controllers’ right to strike.”
