The fifth day of the cabin crew strike called at Ryanair by the USO and Sitcpla unions for this Monday has caused the cancellation of 10 flights and delays in another 266, with the greatest incidence at the Barcelona-El Prat airport. USO has reported late this afternoon, four of the 10 suspended flights departed from Barcelona airport and another four arrived at Barcelona, ​​while in Palma de Mallorca two departure flights and two other arrivals have been suspended .There have also been suspensions of departures in Hamburg, London, Milan and Rome, the last three to Barcelona. Main airports affected The delays have caused a greater disruption to Barcelona (70 delayed departure or arrival flights), Palma de Mallorca ( 65 delayed), Malaga (25), Alicante (23), Madrid (22) and Ibiza (21). In Seville 13 flights have departed or arrived late, while in Girona, Santiago de Compostela and Valencia 9 delays have been recorded, respectively. During this summer, adding the six days of strikes that were called between the end of June and the beginning of July and the current call, a total of 285 flight cancellations and delays in another 2,384 Ryanair flights have been registered throughout Spain, according to the unions Thus, more than 50,000 passengers have been affected by the strike, motivated by a labor dispute that has so far caused eight dismissals and more than 70 workers on file. Until the end of July, the two unions hold strikes on the 19th, 20th, and 21st , 25, 26, 27 and 28 July at the eleven Spanish airports where Ryanair operates (Madrid, Malaga, Seville, Santander, Alicante, Valencia, Barcelona, ​​Gerona, Santiago de Compostela, Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca). Both USO and Sitcpla consider “essential” the intervention of the Government to resolve the conflict and force Ryanair “to comply with the law”. However, they regret the “indifference” of both the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy and the Trans Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, which has forced the unions to request protection from the Ombudsman.
