Coming a week after the airline was forced to cancel over 250 flights after French ATC workers walked out, Ryanair is calling on the European Commission to take urgent action to prevent more industrial action.Ryanair wants European governments to follow the example of former US president Ronald Reagan, who sacked ATC workers for going on strike.Action must be taken at EU level to ensure that the right to strike is removed from essential services such as ATC and competition must be introduced across Europe’s ATC providers,said Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara.This, he added, will ensure that a strike in one country is not allowed to disrupt millions of passengers’ travel plans.The industrial action in France caused around half of all flights into the country to be cancelled.
