Aviation chief Willie Walsh has lambasted the latest raft of aviation strikes that have swept across Europe as “irresponsible.”

Director general of Iata, Willie Walsh

“These irresponsible actions resulted in thousands of unnecessary cancellations in March,” said Walsh, who has been at helm as director general of Iata for almost three years. “This is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the authorities.”

 

Walsh is the latest in a series of aviation bosses, including Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary, to criticise the ongoing industrial tensions.
