For several weeks now, the Spanish trade union USO has been strongly criticizing the implementation of Spanish COVID-19 protection measures by the airlines Ryanair and Lauda. In particular, the fact that FFP2 masks are not issued to the flight crew, contrary to local legislation, has already led to complaints being made to the aviation authorities and the labor inspectorate. USO is now also criticizing the cleaning processes of the Ryanair Group, because they do not have cleaning by specialist staff between two flights. The cabins are only thoroughly cleaned and disinfected at night. From the point of view of the employee representatives, this is not enough in times of Corona. They also point to competitors who do have specialist staff clean between two flights. At Lauda and Ryanair, the cabin crew is supposed to take on this task "without cleaning agents, protective equipment and training." Since July 8, 2020, binding COVID-19 safety regulations have applied to all airlines operating from Spain, which are based on the recommendations of the EASA. According to the USO, Ryanair and Lauda are ignoring these. The employee representatives are particularly annoyed that instead of the mandatory FFP2 masks, reusable MNS masks, which were produced in China and are not approved in Europe, are now being issued to staff. There are not even replacement masks for passengers on board for a fee. In this context, the EASA recommends that airlines should have them available. However, there is no mention of these having to be free for passengers. The USO union continues to criticize the fact that, despite a complaint already submitted to the relevant authorities, in-flight sales have not been reduced. Duty-free items are still being offered.
