Further Ryanair strikes over pay and conditions hit 150 German flights

With less than 24 hours’ notice, thousands of Ryanair passengers flying to and from Germany found out yesterday afternoon that 150 flights were being cancelled due to a pilot strike which began in the early hours of this morning.

Pilot union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC), which only called the strike by the airline’s directly employed pilots on Monday night, said that all flights scheduled to depart from German airports over the 24-hour stoppage would be affected.
