German unions for pilots and flight attendants have not yet declared a labor dispute with Ryanair. At the Vereinigung Cockpit, however, a poll will be held until the end of July. Unions coordinate at European level and advocate for better working conditions and higher wages in Europe's largest low-cost airline. Strikes have already taken place in Portugal and Ireland.

Ryanair threatens job cuts

Ryanair has announced major job cuts because of the strike. More than 100 pilots and 200 flight attendants are in danger for the Dublin fleet, the airline announced on Wednesday.

The strength of the Irish capital is expected to rise from 30 to 24 aircraft. Strikes by Irish pilots had a negative impact on bookings. In the growth market of Poland, however, Ryanair wants to double its fleet to more than ten machines.
