Several Ryanair flights to Morocco departing from France risk being canceled or postponed during the summer, due to a staff strike.
With the decline of the covid-19 epidemic, the summer of 2022 looks promising for air traffic. Except that the recovery is accompanied by many problems among airlines and airports, especially in Europe. Staff are stepping up strikes.
This is the case of the low-cost airline Ryanair. The personnel of three bases of the company in France have filed an indefinite strike notice, in particular for July 14. These employees are demanding wage increases and improved working conditions.
The three bases of the company in France, concerned by this movement are, according to the information site “L’Écho touristique”, Paris Beauvais, Toulouse, and Marseille. Several countries are served by Ryanair from France, including Morocco.
Ryanair: strike action threatens flights to Morocco on July 14
In a press release, the National Union of Commercial Aircrew (SNPNC-FO Ryanair), representing the company’s hostesses and stewards, stressed that discussions on “employee salary increases are at a standstill”.
The union squarely accuses the management of the company of non-compliance with the “civil aviation code, in particular rest times, and this, with the complacency of the General Directorate of Civil Aviation”.
According to the strike notice filed on June 3, the union said that “the dates on which we will call to stop work will be communicated to the company in due course”. In addition, the press release specifies that it is “clear that in the line of sight will be the July 14th bridge as well as the waves of departures and arrivals of summer vacations”.
Consequently, the destinations served by the three bases of the company affected by the movement, including Morocco, Spain, Italy, Portugal, etc. are likely to experience major disruptions on several dates this summer, including July 14.
