All Affected Customers Have Been Emailed This Morning
The VC pilot union has called a surprise (just 24 hours’ notice) and unnecessary strike in Germany on Wed, 12 Sep. While Ryanair hopes to complete much of its schedule, in the interest of minimising customer disruptions we have regrettably been forced to cancel 150 of 400 flights to/from Germany on Wed, 12 Sep.
All affected customers have received emails and SMS text notices this morning (11 Sep) and offered a refund, free move on to the next available flight or reroute options. Customers who have not received notices will not be disrupted and should travel to the airport as scheduled tomorrow.
Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said:
“We condemn the short notice decision of the VC to call a strike on Wed 12th when Ryanair has already agreed to independent mediation/arbitration in Germany, has agreed to negotiate local contracts and has agreed to increase basic pay for German pilots.
To minimise customer disruption, Ryanair have been forced to cancel 150 flights of 400 flights to/from Germany tomorrow, Wed 12 Sep and all affected customers have been notified this morning and informed of their options. We apologise sincerely to our customers for this unnecessary strike and regrettable disruptions which Ryanair has done everything in its power to avoid.”

Ryanair today (11 Sept) confirmed that over 50% of customers with checked bags have switched to the new lower cost €8 x 10kg checked bag (from the €25 x 20kg bag), representing a saving of over half a million euro for Ryanair customers since its new cabin baggage policy went live on 1 Sep for travel on/after 1 Nov.
Ryanair’s new policy has cut check bag fees by offering a lower cost €8 x 10kg check bag (currently €25 x 20kg). This new bag policy eliminates all free 2nd gate bags, (which have been causing flight delays this summer), from 1 Nov next as follows:
- Priority Boarding customers can continue to bring 2 free carry-on bags (1 x 10kg wheelie bag and 1 small bag).
- Non-priority customers can only bring 1 free (small) carry-on bag from 1 Nov.
- If non-priority customers want to bring a 2nd bigger (wheelie) bag they can buy a lower cost 10kg check bag for €8 at time of booking (currently a 20kg bag costs €25). This 10kg wheelie bag must be checked in at the airport bag drop desk.
- All customers with checked bags can now switch from the €25 x 20kg bag to the cheaper €8 x 10kg checked bag.
Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said:
“Since 1 Sept, Ryanair customers have already saved over half a million euro as they switch from our €25 x 20kg checked bag to our new lower cost €8 x 10kg checked bag option, which is now available for all flights from 1st November. This new lower cost €8 x 10kg checked bag means that checked bag income will probably decline as we deliver more savings to Ryanair customers. Up to 50% of customers will continue to bring two free carry-on bags as they travel on Priority Boarding and this new policy will speed up the boarding and cut flight delays.”
