As is well known, the Vida union does not skimp on criticism. This time the low-coster and his pricing policy are caught. Irish Ryanair has announced that the airline's ticket prices are below pre-crisis levels. 

"Instead of continuing to throw tickets on the market at dumping prices, Ryanair and Co. should finally pay fair salaries," said Daniel Liebhart, chairman of the union's aviation department, criticizing Ryanair's mocking pricing policy. While the European Union is talking about more sustainability, low-cost airlines would again lure people to a coffee shop in another European country with absurdly cheap prices. “Apart from the fact that these prices are not good for the climate, low-cost airlines cause social upheaval with their wage depressions all over Europe,” Liebhart continues.  

Shortly before the start of the 2020 corona pandemic, in the midst of the Laudamotion scandal, Minister Gewessler's climate protection ministry vowed to take action against dumping games. “Today we find that this homework was not done. Not a single measure was taken against dumping games in aviation, ”said the chairman of the department, pointing out that not even the flagship project“ fair minimum ticket prices ”was implemented. 

The situation has to change. In a first step, the establishment of a works council at pan-European airlines that operate a base in Austria must urgently be made possible and the wage and social dumping law must be adapted to the special needs of aviation. "In addition, the control bodies such as the finance police or the traffic labor inspectorate must finally be equipped with sufficient human resources so that they can also carry out their control tasks at the airlines," concludes Liebhart.
