Ryanair has lost a High Court battle to stop pilots from going on strike - but says flights will go ahead as scheduled on Thursday and Friday
In July, Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary said that a number of job cuts would be made in the coming weeks.
In a statement posted to Twitter, the airline said that it had been able to draft in enough pilots to operate a full schedule. "Thanks to the great work and volunteerism of the vast majority of our UK based pilots, Ryanair now expects to operate its full schedule of flights to/from our UK airports", it said.
Hitting out at striking pilots, the low-cost airline accused captains of making"unreasonable pay demands" just weeks before Brexit.AdvertisementWelcoming the court's decision, the airline told passengers on Twitter that all scheduled flights from Ireland would now depart as normal.
