The Irish and British pilots of the budget airline Ryanair have announced to strike for two days in the end of August and three more days in September.

Spanish cabin crew on strike to protest against more base closures

The Spanish cabin crew is going on strike for different reasons. They are hoping to prevent the closure of two more bases on the Canary Islands. No dates have been announced for the strike yet. Earlier last week the Portuguese pilots announced a strike between August 21 and 25, as they are dissatisfied with the current working conditions. Last year pilots and cabin crew of several Ryanair divisions across several countries went on strike. This affected the holidays of several thousand passengers.
