Ryanair cancels 30 flights from Ireland

Strike action by Ryanair pilots has caused the airline to cancel up to 30 of 290 Irish flights on Thurs 12 July, only some IRE-UK flights affected. All Ireland to Europe flights will operate as normal as majority of Irish pilots will fly on Thurs since only 94 of the 350+ Irish pilots will strike. Ryanair said that it had tried to avert this disruption, which it deems unnecessary since the airline sent written proposals to Ryanair pilots’ and their union FORSA on seniority, annual leave and base transfers, but the airline claims that FORSA has rejected 21 separate invitations
