Furious Ryanair boss warns 100,000 passengers could have flights cancelled next week
- Members of SNCTA, the organization representing air traffic controllers in France, are set to strike from October 7 until the morning of October 10, resulting in disruptions to flights passing through French airspace.
- The strike arises from disputes over pay and working conditions and follows a previous planned strike delayed by government collapse.
- Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary warned that the strike could force cancellation of about 600 flights mainly involving overflights to destinations like Spain, Italy, and Greece.
- O'Leary emphasized the need for overflights to be safeguarded, warning that disruptions could affect 100,000 passengers and result in losses of about €20 million for Ryanair.
- The strike underscores widespread shortages of air traffic controllers across Europe that are causing extensive flight delays and has prompted demands for governments to intervene and safeguard transit flights from being affected by labor disputes.
