The Irish Travel Agents Association said the threatened strike by Ryanair pilots who are members of the Irish Air Line Pilots’ Association on December 20 could result in “huge dispurtion for Irish travellers” in the run-up to Christmas.
ITAA President Cormac Meehan added: “The timing of this strike, just five days before Christmas, is very unsettling and worrying for those planning to travel over the holiday season. This industrial action could result in huge disruptions for Irish travellers, in particular for families who may be returning home for Christmas or planning to holiday aboard.”
He advised intending travellers to contact their travel agent for advice and to check CAR’s website www.aviationreg.ie for updates on entitlements.
