Ryanair canceled this Monday and Tuesday 88 flights to or from Charleroi airport, south of Brussels, Belgium, due to a pilot strike, according to information released on the airport’s website.
Charleroi airport has detailed on its website the 88 flights that will not be able to depart or arrive during the two days.
Lisbon is one of the cities affected by the cancellations, as are Rome, Venice (Italy), Marseille (France), Warsaw (Poland), Helsinki (Finland), Rabat (Morocco), among others.
According to the EFE agency, the unions that called the pilots’ strike justified this new protest with the “intransigence of the Ryanair management.”
The pilots based in Charleroi denounce, in particular, that rest times are not respected and ask the Irish airline to recover the salary level prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The pilots have already carried out two stoppages before, the weekend of July 15 and 16, which forced the cancellation of 120 flights, and that of July 29 and 30, which suspended more than 90.
Despite several meetings between the unions and the management of the Irish airline, a solution has still not been found.
According to the unions, Ryanair continues to change the schedules and breaks of the pilots, contrary to a collective agreement in force.
