22 Ryanair flights with departure or destination in Spain have been canceled due to a strike by the pilots of the Irish low-cost airline. This strike will take place at Charleroi airport in Belgium on August 14 and 15. This was reported on Thursday by the Belgian airport itself on their website.
Barcelona-El Prat, Palma de Mallorca, Alicante, Málaga, Girona-Costa Brava, Castellón, Santander and Asturias airports in Spain have been affected by flight cancellations to or from Charleroi due to the Ryanair strike. This is already the third strike of this kind in just one month.
By the staking on August 14 and 15, 88 flights between Charleroi and other European cities and Morocco were canceled. However, the largest Belgian airport, Zaventem, which is close to Brussels, will not be affected by this strike.
On Monday 14 August, 10 flights between Charleroi and Spain were cancelled: five flights from Charleroi to Barcelona, Palma, Girona, Castellón, Santander and Asturias; the other five fly the reverse route, from Spain to Belgium.
For Tuesday 15 August, a holiday in Spain, there are 12 canceled flights: six flights from Charleroi go to Barcelona, Palma, Girona, Alicante, Málaga and Asturias; the other six follow the reverse route to Charleroi.
The unions that organized the strike on August 14 and 15 point to the rigidity of Ryanair’s management as the reason. Charleroi pilots are complaining about their working conditions, especially rest periods, and are demanding back the salary level before the pandemic. Previous strikes on July 15-16 and July 29-30 ultimately resulted in 120 and 96 canceled flights.
