Ryanair Flights at Risk as Spain Ground Staff Strike Looms

The strike, called by the UGT union with support from CGT, will impact all Azul Handling bases, including major airports such as Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Alicante, Seville, Valencia, Palma de Mallorca, and Tenerife South. Work stoppages are planned in three peak travel windows each day:
-
05:00–09:00
-
12:00–15:00
-
21:00–23:59
If no agreement is reached during Wednesday’s mediation meeting at SIMA, the union warns that strikes will continue every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until December 31, 2025.
Will your flight be affected?
Ryanair has stated that it does not expect major disruptions, but ground services are crucial for normal operations. Without staff to load baggage, refuel aircraft, and manage boarding, delays and cancellations remain possible. Passengers are advised to check flight status in advance and prepare for potential changes.
Are you entitled to compensation?
In many cases, yes. Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers can claim compensation for delays or cancellations. However, eligibility depends on whether the strike is considered an “extraordinary circumstance.”
The European Court of Justice has previously ruled that strikes by subcontracted staff, such as Azul Handling, do not always exempt airlines from paying compensation, since they are not entirely beyond the airline’s control.
For Ryanair passengers, this means that claims for compensation may be valid if the strike causes significant disruption.

Royal Air Maroc Sets New Milestone In Global Aviation With Major Expansion Of Its Network, Introducing New Direct Flights To Key European And African Destinations

Wednesday, August 6, 2025
Royal Air Maroc (RAM) is setting a new milestone in global aviation with a bold expansion of its network, launching direct flights to several key European and African destinations. This strategic move is aimed at strengthening the airline’s position as a major player in the international travel market. By introducing new routes starting in September, RAM is not only enhancing its connectivity from its Casablanca hub but also responding to growing demand for seamless travel between continents. These additions will significantly improve access to key cities in Europe and Africa, offering more convenient options for both business and leisure travelers while reinforcing Royal Air Maroc’s commitment to delivering world-class service and connectivity.
Royal Air Maroc Expands Global Network with New Routes and Increased Frequencies
Royal Air Maroc (RAM) is set to significantly enhance its global network by expanding its operations from its Casablanca hub. With the launch of four new destinations starting in September, RAM is positioning itself as a key player in global air travel, with a focus on connecting key cities across Europe, Africa, and beyond. These strategic moves reflect the airline’s commitment to meeting growing demand while strengthening its connectivity for passengers traveling across continents.
New International Routes from Casablanca
Starting September 17, Royal Air Maroc will begin flights to Zurich, marking the first of its four new destinations. The airline will offer two flights per week on this route, providing convenient connections between Morocco and Switzerland. Zurich, known for its global financial sector and tourism attractions, will now be more accessible to Moroccan travelers and vice versa.
On the same day, RAM will also launch a new route to Ndjamena, the capital of Chad, expanding its African network. With two weekly departures, this new service is particularly tailored for business travelers and those looking to explore the region. The evening departures from Casablanca will help passengers traveling from Europe or North Africa to connect smoothly. On the return, flights will depart from Ndjamena early in the morning, ensuring that passengers can catch onward connections to Europe through Casablanca, thus maximizing convenience.
The expansion continues on September 18, with RAM offering two weekly flights to Sal Island, Cape Verde. This destination promises to cater to both leisure and business travelers, with late-night departures from Casablanca, ensuring ease of transfer to connecting flights. The return flights will take off in the early morning hours, again designed to optimize passenger connections with European flights.
Finally, starting on October 20, Royal Air Maroc will introduce a new service to Munich, Germany. This city is a key destination for business and tourism, and RAM will offer two weekly flights, further enhancing the airline’s European presence. Munich’s central location in Europe makes it an attractive hub for international travelers looking to connect to other parts of the continent.
Strengthening Connections to France
As part of its ongoing efforts to improve its services, Royal Air Maroc is also focusing on bolstering its connectivity between Morocco and France, one of its largest international markets. France remains the leading European source of visitors to Morocco, contributing 27.5% of all international arrivals in the past year. Recognizing the importance of this market, RAM is reintroducing several routes that were suspended in recent years.
On October 10, RAM will resume flights from Marrakech to Lyon and Toulouse. This marks a significant return to these French cities, which have long been popular with Moroccan travelers. Following this, on October 11, the airline will re-launch its Marrakech-Nantes route, and on October 12, services to Bordeaux will also be reinstated. These routes were previously suspended in 2017 and 2022, but RAM’s renewed commitment to France underscores the growing demand for direct connections between Morocco and France.
Each of these routes will operate two weekly flights, with RAM using its Boeing 737-800 aircraft to serve them. These flights will provide reliable and comfortable connections for travelers between Morocco and some of France’s most sought-after regions.
Increased Frequencies and Daily Paris Flights
In addition to the reintroduced routes, Royal Air Maroc will further enhance its service to France by increasing the frequency of flights to Marseilles. Starting October 27, RAM will add a third weekly flight between Marrakech and Marseilles, providing even more flexibility for travelers looking to visit southern France.
To further bolster its ties with France, RAM will offer a daily service between Marrakech and Paris Charles de Gaulle airport during the peak winter season. From December 16 to January 18, 2026, the airline will provide daily flights between the two cities, ensuring that passengers can travel between Morocco and France with ease. This increased frequency will undoubtedly appeal to both tourists and business travelers, as well as the Moroccan diaspora in France.
Conclusion
Royal Air Maroc is reaching a major milestone in global aviation by expanding its network with new direct flights to key European and African destinations. Starting in September, the airline will introduce four new routes from Casablanca, enhancing global connectivity and offering more convenient travel options between continents.
