Blue/BloombergMore than one million people have signed a Ryanair petition demanding that the European Commission protect holidaymakers’ flights during French air traffic control strikes.
Ryanair wants the European Commission to protect flights which are passing through the country’s air space but which do not land there, as these are worst hit during French air traffic control strikes that have already disrupted millions of travellers so far this year. The airline delivered a petition on Wednesday to commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, containing 1.1 million signatures from “fed-up passengers” who want over flights protected.
Michael O’Leary, Ryanair Holdings plc chief executive, pointed out that French law protects domestic and short-haul flights during strikes, disproportionately hitting services passing through its air space between other European countries.
