The Irish low-cost carrier has been hit by strikes in its home market as well as in Germany, Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands, causing hundreds of flights to be cancelled.

Pilots’ union Forsa said it would recommend that its members accept the Ryanair deal when they are balloted on it.

“Ryanair today confirmed that overnight it had reached agreement with Forsa union and its Irish pilots committee on behalf of Republic of Ireland-based pilots,” said Ryanair in a statement.

“Ryanair will take these proposals to its board in due course after the Irish-based pilots have voted on the signed agreement.
