The budget airline has been forced to cancel a number of flights from UK airports today due to 'inexplicable strike action'
Ryanair has been forced to cancel nearly 100 flights departing from UK airports today due to what it describes as 'inexplicable' strike action. The budget airline is cancelling flights from Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and Belfast, with thousands of British holidaymakers set to be affected by the disruption.
Ryanair bosses criticised the European Commission for its inability to prevent the strikes that are sweeping across Europe, with French Air Traffic Controllers closing Paris Beauvais Airport at short notice. This marks the 84th day of strikes since 2023, while the industrial action continues, reports the Mirror.
A spokesperson for Ryanair said: "It is inexplicable that Ursula von der Leyen and the EU Commission have failed to take action to protect EU passengers' Freedom of Movement during these repeated French ATC strikes. As a result, we have been forced to cancel almost 100 flight to/from Paris Beauvais Airport tomorrow, Thurs 6th June, unfairly disrupting thousands of EU passengers' travel plans at short notice.
"The UK Foreign Office has updated its advice for travellers visiting France and warned people to "expect delays". The government issued fresh guidance to tourists in response to recent protests in the country
