Ryanair will accelerate pay restoration for its UK pilots after it reached an agreement with pilots union Balpa.
The airline welcomed the outcome of a ballot on post-Covid pay restoration for its pilots based in the UK on Thursday (30 June).
This year the carrier will grow to 115% of its pre-Covid capacity and is prioritising the early restoration of pay for its staff through these renegotiated agreements to keep jobs secure.
The new deal also provides for pay enhancements and other benefits beyond full restoration of pay for Ryanair’s UK pilots until 2026.
Ryanair’s people director Darrell Hughes said: "We welcome the outcome of this ballot of our UK pilots which has shown strong support for the agreement negotiated with Balpa.
"While the recovery from the impact of the pandemic is still ongoing and our industry faces significant challenges, this long-term agreement delivers stability, accelerated pay restoration, future pay increases and other benefit improvements for our UK pilots."
