Ryanair & ANPAC sign recognition agreement for Italy
Ryanair has signed a Union Recognition agreement with ANPAC (Italian Airline Pilots Association), who will now be the sole representative body for Ryanair employed Pilots in Italy. This agreement follows extensive negotiations with ANPAC since Ryanair’s December announcement that it was willing to recognise Unions for collective bargaining purposes. Ryanair welcomes the positive and constructive engagement of ANPAC which led to the formal signing of this recognition agreement within 8 weeks of first meeting. This recognition agreement with ANPAC is significant because Italy currently accounts for almost 80 of Ryanair’s 400+ current aircraft fleet and approx. 20% of Ryanair’s pilot body.
Ryanair looks forward to working with ANPAC and its newly elected ANPAC Ryanair Company Council to conclude an early CLA (Collective Labour Agreement) for our directly employed pilots based in Italy.
