Potential strikes remain ‘biggest risk’ to this year’s tourism season, airline says, as industrial action escalates over last year via IrishTimesBiz
“Even comparing this year and last year, we would have had five strike days in total for the entire year and that was obviously a very busy summer,” Ms Kirwan said. “Whereas this year, we’re up to 58 already so it’s been a massive jump on that.”“It’s not that we’re trying to stop the strikes from happening. It’s more than we want to manage the impact of the strikes so they’re not affecting millions of people.
No further French ATC strikes are currently planned but Ms Kirwan said the threat of further action remains the “biggest risk to summer 2023 travel plans”. She said the airline is waiting to see if the French pension reforms, signed into law in April, will be accepted by unions.“You can’t click your fingers and do it overnight, but [we would want] to see them just do anything, take any steps in that direction.
