Ryanair today (25 Sep) confirmed that it has agreed a Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) with the 3 main cabin crew unions FIT CISL, ANPAC, and ANPAV, to cover all Ryanair’s Italian based cabin crew from 1 Oct 2018.
This proposed CLA will:
– Run for 3 years from Fri 1 Oct 2018 to 31 Dec 2021
– Be governed by Italian law and the Italian Courts
– Allow Italian cabin crew transition to local contracts over an agreed period with immediate access to Italian benefits such as maternity and paternity leave.
– Deliver increased pay under a new pay structure, which will see crews benefit from increased tax free allowances (similar to other Italian airlines)
– Introduce an Italian Pension Scheme as part of the overall package
Ryanair’s Chief People Officer, Eddie Wilson said:
“We have signed a CLA with the 3 Italian cabin crew unions, which will cover all of our Italian based cabin crew, will lead to significant pay improvements and other benefits for our Italian based cabin crew, and will start from next month. This follows recent cabin crew agreements in Ireland with FORSA and in the UK with UNITE.
This is a further sign of the significant progress Ryanair is making in reaching agreements with our people and their unions in different EU countries, and disproves false claims made by smaller unions not involved in these negotiations, and who are threatening strikes, which will either not take place or be unsuccessful.
We have again invited our German, Portuguese and Spanish unions to meet with us so that we can negotiate and hopefully agree similar CLAs in these other larger markets.”

Ryanair Holdings Plc today (20 Sept) held its 2018 AGM, during which shareholders approved all resolutions by large majorities. Details of the voting is set out in the table below.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report, Charlie McCreevy and Declan McKeon chose not to seek re-election at the AGM. Chairman David Bonderman sincerely thanked both Charlie and Declan for their substantial contribution over the last 8 years and welcomed both Emer Daly and Róisín Brennan as new members of the Board.
Ryanair today (19 Sept) welcomed the French Supreme Court ruling in the Marseille employment case, which confirmed Ryanair’s position that the E101 certificates issued by Ireland in respect of its pilots and cabin crew who were temporarily based in Marseille are binding on the French Authorities and the French Courts as previously ruled by the ECJ. The French Supreme Court also cancelled all convictions against Ryanair and returned the Case to the Paris Court of Appeal for rehearing.
This French Supreme Court ruling, which follows the ECJ ruling in the A-Rosa case, now obliges the French Authorities to accept and respect the Irish E101 certificates, which were issued to Ryanair’s pilots and cabin crew who were temporarily based in Marseille during the period 2006 – 2010.
Ryanair’s Chief People Officer, Eddie Wilson said:
“We welcome this favourable ruling from the French Supreme Court which fully respects the earlier favourable ECJ ruling in the A-Rosa case.
We believe that this decision will now lead to an early and favourable conclusion of the criminal cases and tax demands in Aix-en-Provence. This should in due course lead to the repayment of up to €13m of social tax payments, which Ryanair was required to put into escrow to cover two such cases in 2014 and 2017.
We welcome this French Supreme Court ruling, which now paves the way for Ryanair to consider re-entering the French market. We are already in discussions with a number of French airports, and the French Ministry of Labour, which we hope will lead to Ryanair announcing some bases in France in the near future, but with pilots and cabin crew based in France, on local French contracts, and paying their social taxes in France rather than Ireland.
We have asked our lawyers to expedite the rehearing of this case by the Paris Court of Appeal now that the French Supreme Court and the ECJ in Strasbourg has ruled in favour of Ryanair and the Irish issued E101 certificates”.

Ryanair today (18 Sept) revealed that more customers with a two-person booking are purchasing its new lower cost €8 x 10kg check bags instead of its 20kg bag (€25) for city breaks and winter getaways, where customers can save €9 per booking, by purchasing two 10kg check bags (€8) instead of one 20kg bag (€25).
The new policy has cut check bag fees by offering a cheaper €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.
Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said:
“Ryanair customers are already making savings with our new lower cost €8 x 10kg check bag option, which is now available for all flights from 1st November. We have noticed more customers travelling on two-person bookings are availing of the new cheaper 10kg check bag (per person), enjoying even more savings.
This new lower cost €8 x 10kg check bag means that check bag income will probably decline as we deliver more savings to Ryanair customers. As always we continue to lower the cost of travel, while our new bag policy from 1 Nov means we can eliminate all free gate bags and related flight delays.”
Η Ryanair σήμερα (14 Σεπ) επιβεβαίωσε ότι συνάντησε στην Ρώμη τις 3 κύριες ενώσεις προσωπικού καμπίνας επιβατών, FIT CISL, ANPAC, και ANPAV, και συμφώνησαν σε ένα σύνολο όρων, το οποίο θα αποτελέσει τη βάση μιας συλλογικής σύμβασης εργασίας για την κάλυψη του ιταλικού πληρώματος θαλάμου επιβατών της Ryanair από την 1η Οκτωβρίου 2018. Τα μέρη συμφώνησαν ότι «βρίσκονται τώρα στα τελικά στάδια της σύναψης των τελικών όρων», οι οποίοι θα προϋποθέτουν :
– Θα ισχύει για 3 έτη, από Παρ 1 Οκτ 2018 έως και 31 Δεκ 2021
– Θα διέπεται από το ιταλικό δίκαιο και τα ιταλικά δικαστήρια
– Θα επιτρέπεται στα ιταλικά μέλη του πληρώματος θαλάμου επιβατών να μεταβαίνουν σε τοπικές συμβάσεις για μια συμφωνημένη περίοδο
– Θα προβεί σε αυξήσεις στο πλαίσιο μιας νέας διάρθρωσης αμοιβών, η οποία θα εξασφαλίσει ότι τα πληρώματα θα επωφεληθούν από αυξημένα αφορολόγητα δικαιώματα (παρόμοια με άλλες ιταλικές αεροπορικές εταιρείες)
– Θα θεσπίσει ιταλικό συνταξιοδοτικό σύστημα ως μέρος του συνόλου των ενεργειών
Η Chief People Officer της Ryanair Eddie Wilson δήλωσε:
“Χαιρετίζουμε τη συμφωνία με τα 3 ιταλικά συνδικάτα πληρώματος θαλάμου επιβατών με όρους συλλογικής σύμβασης εργασίας, που θα καλύπτει όλο το ιταλικό πληρώμα θαλάμου και θα ξεκινήσει από τον επόμενο μήνα. Η συμφωνία αυτή ακολουθεί τις πρόσφατες συμφωνίες πληρώματος θαλάμου επιβατών στην Ιρλανδία με τη FORSA και στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο με την UNITE.
Αναμένουμε να υπογράψουμε τη σύμβαση για το ιταλικό προσωπικό μας πριν από το τέλος του Σεπτέμβρη, γεγονός που θα οδηγήσει σε σημαντικές βελτιώσεις στις αμοιβές και άλλα οφέλη για το ιταλικό πληρώμα θαλάμου. Η συμφωνία αυτή αποτελεί ακόμη ένα σημάδι της σημαντικής προόδου που επιτελεί η Ryanair στην επίτευξη συμφωνιών με το προσωπικό μας και τα συνδικάτά τους σε διάφορες χώρες της ΕΕ και απορρίπτει ψευδείς ισχυρισμούς μικρότερων συνδικάτων που δεν συμμετέχουν στις διαπραγματεύσεις αυτές και απειλούν με απεργίες αργότερα αυτό το χειμώνα, οι οποίες είτε δεν θα πραγματοποιηθούν, είτε θα αποτύχουν.”
