Ryanair faces pilots’ strike in Germany

Ryanair may have created a key moment in its history by officially recognising a pilot union here for collective bargaining purposes as of yesterday, but the airline will still endure a strike today by its pilots in Germany.

From 5am to 9am local time, pilots who are directly employed by the airline and are members of Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) will engage in a stoppage.

According to the union: “All flights that are planned by German airports during this period will be affected.”
