Ryanair cancels 400 flights amid French strikes as passengers left stranded across Europe
Ryanair passengers were left stranded across Europe after the airline cancelled 400 flights due to air traffic control strikes. Passengers claimed that they were left waiting for hours at airports including Paris and Malaga, with only crisps and fizzy drinks being provided.
One mum told the Mail Online that her vulnerable 19-year-old son's flight was cancelled on Sunday, which left him stranded in Paris and having to wait until Thursday. Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary expressed his anger at overflights being cancelled as opposed to domestic French routes. "It is completely impermissible that ATC strikes can result in the cancellation of thousands of EU passengers’ flights, while France and other EU Member States use Minimum Service Laws to protect their domestic flights. If ATC unions insist on striking, which is their right, then they should cancel flights to/from the affected State and protect overflights, not cancel EU overflights from Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK.
