Ryanair has agreed a four-year pay deal with its pilots in Ireland.
The agreement will see Irish pilots receive an accelerated restoration of pay cuts previously agreed during the pandemic.
The pay cuts will be fully restored in the Irish pilots’ December payroll.
The agreement also incorporates pay increases spread over the next four years up to March 2027.
This pact with the Forsa public service union and pilots was facilitated by discussions which took place on Friday at Ireland’s Workplace Relations Commission.
Ryanair people director Darrell Hughes said: “We welcome this pay restoration agreement with Forsa and our Irish pilots which will see pay cuts previously agreed during Covid restored in the December payroll in time for Christmas.
“This agreement which includes annual pay increases for the next four years now brings our Irish pilots into line with similar pay restoration deals concluded with our other pilot unions across Europe over the past nine months.
“We are grateful for the assistance of the WRC in reaching this sensible agreement with Forsa and our Irish Pilots.”
