LONDON (Alliance News) - Ryanair Holdings PLC on Thursday said it has reached an agreement with its Irish pilots following a series of strikes.
In a statement posted on the airline's Twitter account, Ryanair said it has reached agreement with Irish trade union FORSA and its committee of Irish pilots.
The proposals, it continued, will be taken to the Ryanair board once pilots vote on it. Mediator Kieran Mulvey has asked both sides not to comment on the matter until the pilot ballot has been carried out.
Irish pilots went on strike for a fourth time earlier in August. Pilots have been unhappy about the company's plans to change seniority rules and its plans for annual leave, transfers, and promotions.
Ryanair shares were 5.5% higher on Thursday at a price of EUR13.87 each.
