Ryanair has agreed a deal to recognise UK pilots union Balpa, which will now represent all of the airline’s 600 UK-based pilots.
The Irish carrier announced in December that it would finally recognise pilots’ unions for collective bargaining purposes after resisting this move for years.
Balpa will be the “sole representative” for Ryanair’s UK pilots, who have already voted to accept pay increases of up to 20%. The UK currently accounts for around 25% of Ryanair’s fleet and pilots.
