LISBON: An Irish court granted an injunction on Wednesday to prevent Ryanair's Dublin-based pilots from going on strike, but the airline suffered a setback when a London court just hours later rejected a similar application for its British pilots.
After a ruling at the High Court in London, the general secretary of British pilots union BALPA, Brian Strutton, told Reuters that Ryanair could still avoid the planned strike by British pilots this week if it agrees to a new framework for talks. In a statement released on Wednesday afternoon, Ryanair said more staff than needed showed up to work at Portuguese airports on Wednesday morning and there would be no significant disruption to flights to and from the country during the rest of the day.
"This is an attempt to once again draw attention to the problems faced by Ryanair crew members, to the way Ryanair operates in Portugal and the total impunity with which Ryanair operates," Passos said.
