RYANAIR passengers are being warned of travel disruption this summer, which could affect as many as 200 flights a day.
Baggage handlers at Blue Handling are threatening strike action due to pay cuts, which will affect hundreds of flights if it goes ahead.
Union Unite has warned that unless they get a substantial pay rise then they will walk out over the summer.
And with airlines already facing huge problems with delayed and cancelled flights, it could result in even more chaos for Brits hoping to go abroad during the peak holiday season.
Blue Handling employs more than 750 staff, which handles 200 flights a day during the busy season.
Unite general secretary, Sharon Graham said: “Given the chaos in the airline sector, it is unbelievable and irresponsible that Blue Handling is still refusing to pay decent wages.
“Unite’s members are ready for strike action. We now expect Blue Handling to step up and pay these workers fairly.”
A meeting is due to take place today to discuss the current pay rise.
Unite regional officer, Burcin Bayazit said: “Blue Handling’s client Ryanair has recovered well from the pandemic.
“Blue Handling must ensure that our members are repaid the money the workers lost during Covid.
