Ryanair pilots and their union Fórsa yesterday evening (14 Aug) withdrew from Mediation talks chaired by Mr Kieran Mulvey when no progress was made on their unrealistic and unimplementable pay proposals.

 

At yesterday’s mediation, the Ryanair Pilots Committee and Fórsa confirmed that they are seeking pay increases of 101% on top of current annual pay of over €172,000. Ryanair Pilots are insisting on these pay demands being met, just one day after Norwegian announced the closure of its Dublin operations with the loss of over 120 crew jobs, despite the fact that Ryanair has a surplus of over 500 pilots due to the delayed delivery of over 30 MAX aircraft this winter, and just 10 weeks before a “no-deal” Brexit could cause further disruption to air travel and airline jobs in Ireland and the UK.

 

Ryanair has called on its pilots and the Fórsa union to return to Independent Mediation with reasonable proposals which reflect the falling airfares and profits Ryanair has recently reported, as well as the fact that Ryanair pilot pay is already 20% ahead of comparable 737 airline pilot pay in Norwegian and Jet2.

 

Speaking yesterday evening, Ryanair’s Chief People Officer Eddie Wilson said:

 

“We have done everything in our power to avoid disruption to our flights and our customers’ holidays. However, no company can concede to grossly unreasonable demands from its highest paid workers for a further pay increase of over 100% (when they already agreed and received a 20% pay increase earlier this year) at a time when the airline industry is in crisis.

 

Ryanair pilots who are already among the best paid workers in Ireland are now threatening to disrupt the holiday travel plans of thousands of customers over the coming weeks as they demand that their pay be increased from €172,000 p.a. to over €347,000 p.a. that would see them earn more than the President of Ireland or our Taoiseach, even as Norwegian makes all of its Dublin pilots redundant. We remain willing to engage in Mediation with our pilots and Fórsa but call on them to avoid disrupting our customers’ travel plans in pursuit of what are clearly unrealistic and unimplementable pay proposals.”

Dublin 9 Aug – Ryanair is disappointed that the pilots union FÓRSA is threatening to disrupt customers’ travel plans during August when its ballot has the support of less than 25% of Ryanair’s Irish pilots.

 

The result of FÓRSA’s ballot shows that less than half of Ryanair’s Irish pilots are members of FÓRSA, and less than 60% of these FÓRSA members participated in the ballot with less than 25% of Ryanair’s Irish Pilots voting for industrial action. This disruption of customers’ holiday plans has no  valid mandate from Ryanair’s Irish Pilots.

 

Since summer 2018, Ryanair and FÓRSA have engaged in a mediation process under Mr Kieran Mulvey which has delivered collective agreements on promotions, transfers, seniority and most recently (April 2019), a pay increase of up to 20% for those Irish pilots who had not agreed this 20% increase in 2018. Ryanair’s Irish pilots also enjoy a 5 on, 4 off roster (a double bank holiday every week).

 

On 30^th July Fórsa gave an undertaking to Mediator Kieran Mulvey that they would return to mediation next week (beginning 11 Aug) with specific pay proposals, which they have failed to provide either to Ryanair or Kieran Mulvey for over 6 months now.

 

FÓRSA are still unable to explain what pay increase they are seeking on top of the 20% increase already agreed, at a time when Ryanair pilots resignations have dwindled to zero because Ryanair pilots are better paid than 737 competitor pilots in Norwegian (who are cutting pilot pay and jobs) and Jet2 (who have frozen pilot pay in return for improved rosters).  The pay deals already agreed with FÓRSA have deliver pay increases of up to 20% at a time when Ryanair profits are falling due to higher fuel and payroll costs, with Senior Captains now earning over €200,000 p.a. for working five days on, followed by four days off. Ryanair pilots already earn 20% more than pilots in comparable 737 airlines like Norwegian.

 

This FÓRSA threat of industrial action has no mandate from Ryanair pilots, and is ill-timed just 10 weeks before a hard Brexit, while Ryanair is in the process of letting excess pilots go due to the Boeing MAX delivery delays. FÓRSA should continue in mediation and avoid threatening unnecessary disruptions to customers holidays and travel plans.

 

Ryanair now calls on FÓRSA to explain why it is announcing industrial action and customer disruptions while it is still in a mediation process, led by Mr Kieran Mulvey, under which they have yet to table any specific pay proposals. FÓRSA should now continue mediation with Ryanair instead of threatening ill-judged and ill-timed industrial action with the sole intention of creating uncertainty for customers travelling during the late August period.

Ryanair dziś (8 sierpnia) opublikował statystyki dotyczące emisji CO_2. W lipcu średnia emisja wyniosła 67g CO₂ na pasażera/km.

 

	Lipiec 2019
Łączna liczba kilometrów	18,832m km
Łączna liczba pasażerów	14.8m
Łączna emisja CO2	1,267 kt
CO2 na pasażera/km	67g

 

 

Dzięki najwyższemu wskaźnikowi wypełnienia samolotów ‘load factor’ (96%) oraz operaowaniu jedną z najmłodszych flot (średnio 6 lat), Ryanair zapewnia najniższy poziom emisji CO₂ na pasażera/km w Unii Europejskiej. Obecny średni poziom emisji CO₂ na pasażera/km 67g rocznie został w ostatnim dziesięcioleciu obnizony z 82g, podczas gdy inne linie lotnicze 120g na pasażera/km.

Kenny Jacobs z Ryanaira powiedział:

“Ryanair jest najbardziej ekologiczną linią lotniczą w Europie. Operujemy najmłodszą flotą i osiągamy najwyższe współczynniki wypełnienia samolotów (load factor), dzięki temu w lipcu wyemitowaliśmy 67g CO₂ na pasażera/km (prawie o połowę mniej niż inne duże europejskie linie lotnicze). Do 2030 roku zamierzamy obnizyc poziom emisji o kolejne 10% do poziomi poniżej 60g na pasażera/km.

W ramach zobowiązań środowiskowych Ryanair zainwestuje 20 miliardów US$ we flotę 210 nowych samolotów Boeing 737. Nowe samoloty przewożą 4% więcej pasażerów, przy mniejszym o 16% zużyciu paliwa i o 40% niższym poziomie hałasu.”

Oggi (8 agosto) Ryanair ha pubblicato le statistiche per il mese di luglio sulle emissioni di CO2, che evidenziano una media di 67g di CO2 per passeggero/km.

Statistiche	Luglio 2019
Chilometri totali	18,832m km
Passeggeri totali	14.8m
Emissioni CO2 totali	1,267 kt
CO2 per pax/km	67g

Con il più alto load factor passeggeri (96%) e una delle flotte più giovani (in media 6 anni), Ryanair fornisce la più bassa CO2 per passeggero/km nel settore aereo dell’UE. Le emissioni di CO2 di Ryanair per pax/km sono state ridotte da 82g a 67 g nell’ultimo decennio, mentre altri competitor generano attualmente oltre 120 g per pax/km.

Kenny Jacobs di Ryanair ha dichiarato:

“Ryanair è la compagnia aerea più green d’Europa con la flotta più giovane e i load factor più elevati. Le nostre emissioni di CO2 per passeggero/km a luglio 2019 sono di 67 g, quasi la metà rispetto ad altre compagnie aeree europee di bandiera e ci impegniamo a ridurla di un ulteriore 10% a meno di 60 g per pax/km entro il 2030. ”

Come parte dell’impegno ambientale di Ryanair, stiamo investendo oltre 20 miliardi di dollari in una flotta di 210 nuovi aeromobili Boeing 737, che saranno in grado di trasportare il 4% in più di passeggeri ma ridurranno il consumo di combustibile del 16% e ridurranno le emissioni di rumore del 40%”.

Madrid, 8 de agosto de 2019. Ryanair ha anunciado hoy sus estadísticas de emisiones de CO₂ correspondientes al mes de julio, que muestran que la aerolínea operó con una media de 67 gramos de CO₂ por pasajero y kilómetro a lo largo del mes.

 

	julio 2019
Total Kilómetros	18.832m km
Total Pasajeros	14,8 m
Total Emisiones CO2	1.267 kt
CO2 por pasajero y kilómetro	67g

 

Ryanair cuenta con el índice de ocupación más alto (96%) y una de las flotas más jóvenes del sector (con una media de 6 años), que le permite operar con la media más baja de CO₂ por pasajero y kilómetro en la industria de aerolíneas en Europa. La aerolínea ha reducido sus emisiones de CO2 por pasajero y kilómetro de 82g a 67g a lo largo de la última década, mientras que sus competidores con tarifas más elevadas generan más de 120g por pasajero y kilómetro.

 

Kenny Jacobs, de Ryanair, ha comentado: “Ryanair es la aerolínea más verde y limpia de Europa. Operamos con la flota más joven y los índices de ocupación más altos de la industria, alcanzando una media de CO₂ por pasajero y kilómetro de 67g en julio de 2019, casi la mitad en comparación con los niveles de emisión de otras grandes aerolíneas del sector europeo.

Como parte de nuestro compromiso con el medioambiente, estamos invirtiendo más de veinte mil millones de dólares en una flota de 210 nuevos aviones Boeing 737. Este modelo permitirá transportar un 4% más de pasajeros, así como reducir el gasto de combustible un 16% y las emisiones acústicas un 40%”.

Ryanair veröffentlicht heute (8. August) die monatlichen CO₂-Emissionsstatistiken, die im Juli einen Durchschnitt von 67g CO₂ pro Personenkilometer ausweisen.

Kennzahlen	Mai 2019
Gesamtzahl Kilometer	18.832 Mio. km
Gesamtzahl der Passagiere	14,8 Mio.
Gesamte CO₂-Emissionen	1.267 kt
CO2 pro Personenkilometer	67g

 

Mit der höchsten Passagierauslastung (96%) und einer der jüngsten Flotten (durchschnittliches Flugzeugalter sechs Jahre) liefert Ryanair die niedrigsten CO₂-Emissionen pro Personenkilometer in der Luftfahrtindustrie der Europäischen Union (EU). Ryanairs CO₂-Ausstoß pro Personenkilometer wurde in den letzten zehn Jahren von 82g auf 67g reduziert, während hochpreisige Wettbewerber derzeit über 120g pro Personenkilometer erzeugen.

Kenny Jacobs, Chief Marketing Officer von Ryanair, sagte:

“Ryanair ist Europas grünste und sauberste Fluggesellschaft. Wir haben die jüngste Flotte und die höchsten Auslastungsfaktoren, sodass unsere CO₂-Emissionen pro Personenkilometer 67g betragen. Wir haben uns verpflichtet, diese bis 2030 um nochmals 10 Prozent auf unter 60g pro Personenkilometer zu reduzieren.

Im Rahmen des Umweltengagements von Ryanair werden wir über 20 Milliarden US-Dollar in eine Flotte von 210 neuen Boeing 737 Flugzeugen investieren, die 4 % mehr Passagiere befördern, aber den Treibstoffverbrauch um 16 % und die Geräuschemissionen um 40 % senken werden.” 

Ryanair today (8 Aug) released its July CO₂ emissions statistics, which show an ave. of 67g CO₂ per passenger/km.

 

	July 2019
Total Kilometres	18,832m km
Total Passengers	14.8m
Total CO2 Emissions	1,267 kt
CO2 Per Pax/km	67g

 

With the highest passenger load factor (96%) and one of the youngest fleets (ave. of 6 years), Ryanair delivers the lowest CO₂ per passenger/km in the EU airline industry. Ryanair’s CO₂ per pax/km has been cut from 82g to 67g over the last decade while other high fare competitors currently generate over 120g per pax/km.

 

Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said:

 “Ryanair is Europe’s greenest/cleanest major airline with the youngest fleet and highest load factors. Our CO2 per passenger/km for July is 67g, half the rate of other flag carrier European airlines, and we are committed to reducing this by a further 10% to under 60g per pax/km by 2030.

As part of Ryanair’s environmental commitment, we are investing over US$20 billion in a fleet of 210 new Boeing 737 aircraft, which will carry 4% more passengers but reduce fuel burn by 16% and cut noise emissions by 40%.”
