Tens of thousands of passengers were hit by the French -language air movement strike, which canceled flights to France on Thursday and Friday and had an effect elsewhere in Europe.
The Ryanair’s budget airline said it was forced to cancel more than 170 flights, and recreation plans with more than 30,000 passengers were violated.
Two French unions carried out a two -day stroke on work conditions, which led to a quarter of flights canceled at the main airports of Paris and half flights to Nice airport.
France Minister Philip Tabaro condemned both unacceptable trade union requirements and their decision to strike at such an important time for people who go on vacation.
Ryanair said the strike touched not only its flights to France and France, but also planes flying through the French airspace, to places, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Greece.
His Executive Director Michael O’Hlira accused the air traffic dispatchers of “holding European families to buy.”
“It does not make sense in abundance when EU passengers go on holidays,” he complained, calling on the President of the European Commission Ursul von der Leyen to take “urgent measures” to provide a minimum service level during blows and protecting flights passing through the French airspace from the internal industry.
The French Civil Aviation Office, DGAC, asked the airlines to cut flight schedules at several airports across the country.
It is expected that the breakdowns will deteriorate at the French airports on Friday, 40% less flights from Paris airports in Charles de Gaul, Eagle and Bveya.
The strike was caused by the Union of Unsa-ICNA, which referred to the staffing deficit, management problems and the planned introduction of the clock for controllers among its problems. Negotiations with Dgac failed to resolve the dispute earlier this week.
Airlines for Europe (A4E), leading the Continent Aviation body, described the strike as “unbearable”, warning that it greatly violates travel plans at the midst of the holiday season.
Easyjet, another inexpensive carrier who suffered from disruption, expressed “deep disappointment” and called for permission.
On Wednesday, Ryanair said he had also suffered a recent conflict in the Middle East and canceled more than 800 flights last month.
Despite the cancellation, the airline stated that more than 109,000 flights were still operating in June, indicating that less than 1% of flights were affected.
