Ryanair is insisting it will operate all of its flights as scheduled when some of its pilots go on strike next week.
Strikes by members of the British Airline Pilots’ Association (BALPA) are due to take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (September 2-4).
Ryanair said all flights to/from UK airports will operate as scheduled ‘thanks to the efforts of over 95% of our UK pilots who have confirmed that they will work their rosters, and will not support this failed third BALPA strike action’.
"We do not expect any pilot strike disruptions to our schedule to/from our UK airports," it said in a statement.
"On behalf of our customers and their families we wish to sincerely thank all our UK pilots who have not supported this BALPA strike, and have confirmed they will work as rostered to protect the flights and travel plans of our UK customers and their families over the first week of September."
Ryanair said it has invited BALPA to meet this week to resume negotiations but BALPA has refused.
