An air traffic control strike in Italy means flights have been decimated.
Ryanair flights to, from and within Italy have been cancelled on Saturday.
“All affected customers have been contacted by email and SMS text message and advised of their options of a full refund, or rebooking on to the next available flight, or onto an alternative route,” Ryanair stated.
“We sincerely apologise to all customers disrupted by these unjustified strikes – the fifth such ATC strike in the last three weeks – by ATC unions who are holding European consumers to ransom.
“We call on the Italian Government and EU Commission to take action to prevent any further ATC disruptions.
“We encourage all customers to sign our online petition, ‘Keep Europe’s Skies Open’ which we will present to the EU Commission and the EU Parliament to force them to finally take action to protect consumers from these unjustified ATC strike disruptions.”
