For around five months, two Spanish unions have called on Ryanair cabin crew to walk out. However, the affected carrier is relaxed and explains that only a few employees are members of these two organizations.

Ryanair does not expect any significant effects on flight operations and points out in a media statement that the vast majority is said to be organized in the "much larger CCOO union". With this one concluded a collective agreement for the Spanish cabin crew.

“These two tiny unions, representing just a handful of our Spanish cabin crew, carried out a series of ill-supported strikes in June and July with little or no impact on Ryanair flights to and from Spain. In July alone, Ryanair operated over 3.000 daily flights and carried a record 16,8 million passengers - many of them to/from Spain. Ryanair understands that these latest threatened strikes, which will only affect a handful of our Spanish cabin crew, will not have any impact on our Spain flights or flight schedules in August or September. A correction: while a small number of Ryanair flights in Spain were canceled or delayed in July, this was largely due to air traffic control strikes and flight delays. No flights were canceled in July as a result of these unsuccessful and ill-supported strikes by the two minority unions (USO and SITCPLA) representing just a small handful of Ryanair's Spanish cabin crew. The vast majority of Ryanair's Spanish cabin crew are represented by the CCOO union, which has already signed a collective agreement with Ryanair covering most of our Spanish cabin crew," said a company spokesman.
