Up to 180 Ryanair flights will be cancelled over the weekend because of cabin crew strikes.
Didier Lebbe of the Centrale nationale des employés (National central of employees) told Belga News Agency that the cabin crew strikes on 24, 25 and 26 June will lead to the cancellation of hundreds of Ryanair flights on Friday and Saturday.
Cabin crew are striking over the Irish company's unfair staffing practices, a lack of respect towards employees, and salary concerns, with the series of strikes having been started by Spanish cabin crew.
