Lisbon is one of the cities affected by the cancellations, as are Rome, Venice (Italy), Marseille (France), Warsaw (Poland), Helsinki (Finland), Rabat (Morocco), among others.

According to the EFE agency, the unions that called for the pilots' strike justified this new protest with the "intransigence of Ryanair's management".

Pilots based in Charleroi denounce, in particular, that rest times are not respected and ask the Irish airline to recover the salary level prior to the covid-19 pandemic.

Pilots have already held two strikes previously, on the weekend of July 15th and 16th, which forced the cancellation of 120 flights, and of July 29th and 30th, which suspended more than 90.
