RYANAIR CONDEMNS ILLEGAL WILDCAT STRIKE BY
BELGIAN ATC CONTROLLERS ON TUES, 2 JUNE
OVER 100 CHARLEROI FLIGHTS CANCELLED AT SHORT NOTICE DISRUPTING
20,000 PASSENGERS
Ryanair,
Europe's No.1 airline, condemned today's (2 June) illegal wildcat
strike by Belgian ATC controllers, which unfairly forced the short
notice cancellation of 100 Ryanair flights to/from Charleroi and
Zaventem Airports, disrupting almost 20,000
passengers.
It is unacceptable that passengers travelling
to/from Belgium today (2 June) are suffering flight cancellations
and delays as a result of a tiny number of Belgian air traffic
controllers' decision to strike with zero
notice given to airlines
who pay millions of euros annually for ATC services, which have
been withdrawn today without any prior notice. If Belgian ATC
controllers must go on strike, they should provide fair and
sufficient notice - at least 24 hours - so that airlines can
reorganise flights and protect passengers - many of whom are
travelling on holidays with young families - from unnecessary
cancellations.
The
Draghi Report called on Europe to deliver competitiveness, but
nothing highlights the failure of Europe competitiveness under
"Useless Ursula" von der Leyen more than these latest ATC strikes.
The EU Commission has a duty to protect the single market for air
travel yet zero progress has been made. Every year ATC controllers
hold European citizens to ransom, and "Useless Ursula" von der
Leyen does nothing about it - except make speeches.
Ryanair's Michael O'Leary
said:
"While we respect the right to strike,
it is unacceptable that airlines were
given zero
notice of today's Belgian
ATC strike. As a result, airlines were forced to cancel flights at
short notice, unfairly impacting thousands of passengers travelling
to/from Belgium - many of whom are now stranded at Charleroi and
Zaventem Airports. There is no need for passengers to suffer short
notice cancellations due to Belgian ATC strikes. If controllers
must strike, they should provide fair notice to airlines, so we can
reorganise schedules to minimise the impact of these ATC strikes on
ordinary citizens who pay for these high priced but low service
ATC.
It is unacceptable that European citizens are once again being held
to ransom by a tiny number of ATC controllers engaging in
recreational strikes without fair notice. Ryanair has repeatedly
called on the EU Commission to reform Europe's broken ATC system to
protect passengers from these ATC strikes, but "Useless Ursula" von
der Leyen continues to sit on her hands doing nothing while a tiny
number of European Air Traffic Controllers once again hold European
citizens to ransom with today's zero notice strikes."
