Ryanair to take legal action against Spanish unions over wildcat strikes

Ryanair is to take legal action against a number of Spanish unions over wildcat strikes of air traffic controllers (ATCs) earlier this month which caused the cancellation of over 500 Ryanair flights.

The airline said the AENA, AESA and the USCA unions were responsible for the “unlawful” stoppages on December 4 and 5 which disrupted the travel plans of over 75,000 passengers.
