ryanair failed in a court battle to get the strike blocked by britain's high court.topping a strike by some 180 pilots based in ireland. a strike with us now isjohn grant, aviation expert for aog aviation consultancy. thank you forjoining us. it looks from looking at what is happening with ryanair today like their plan has worked, and disruption has been kept to practically nothing. how have they done this? there is no disruption so far. they have brought forward flight crews from days in advance, using them to cover the shifts. don't forget we are only talking about 25% of ryanair boss michael uk based pilots are so judicious rostering allows them to cover this, but you cannot do that repeatedly over the next few weeks. although today's plan strike hasn't had the impact the pilots hope, there are more plan. as youjust said, from the 2nd of september to the fourth, another plan for some in spain in ten days, the irish will go back to their pilots union and look for some sort of action as well so this is an ongoing issue. what is the problem with the pilots? this is a

ryanair isa on the fringe benefits and so on.a low—cost airline, it is highly profitable, but it makes its profits from offering low fares. it can pay higher salaries as long as it keeps up the high productivity elements. i think that is where the difficult discussion has to come. having said that, there are no winners out of this. there has to be a sensible meeting of minds, going back to discussions around the table, andi back to discussions around the table, and i think that will happen once this all comes down. ryanair's chief legal officer, because they have one apparently, referred to the airline industry as one in crisis. what evidence is there that that's the case? airlines will be worrying about brexit even more now as we get through this last couple of months before the departure. fuel costs arising and there is extra capacity the market. rya nair arising and there is extra capacity the market. ryanair have about five of the 737 max aircraft, and they we re of the 737 max aircraft, and they were meant to receive about 6

ryanair, for instance, this year had profits... this further down the line with bank holiday upcoming. ryanair will have said that if you are affected they will have sent a text message, so if you haven't got that you should be fine. let's talk about some of these factors about what is going on. with ryanair, they are sort of of what is going on more generally. we have issues around fuel costs, issues around brexit, how that will play into all of this. the ryanair boss himself, they have said they have 900 more people than they need at least. yes, so you can expect some potential redundancies. oil prices recovered earlier this year, and if you are not hedging your costs you will have to deal with that. there is also the issue around stronger competition in the space. low—budget airlines are increasingly popular for short holidays. this is summer, peak period for a lot of people, and if you are looking at what is happening in terms of regulation in the industry, it means you really have to approach from a strategy of higher margins,

ryanair lost a gone on strike over pay. ryanair losta high gone on strike over pay.idn't lose it in ireland, though flights are running as per normal in ireland. but here, ryanair and michael 0'leary made a promise yesterday that flights out of the uk would operate two schedules. so far that appears to be the case. how has he done it? ryanair operate over a50 boeing 737 aircraft, all the same planes, meaning that every pilot on their roster can fly that plane. they have flown in pilots from bases across europe to staff the positions of the 180 pilots in the uk striking today. so far that timetable is running to schedule. in fact there is even a suggestion, not confirmed at the moment, that ryanair is operating better than normal! that isa hint operating better than normal! that is a hint of irony. the administration of ryanair took the union to court, and they wanted to promise passengers that all flights would run to schedule and that does appear to be the case today. this was all about pay. ryanair hit back at the pilot saying you earn £180,000 a year, you do that,

fossil, ryanair, people smoke stop not good news.r, people use smoke stop not good news. fossil, ryanair, people use them for a huge amount of the summer holidays was of the pilots have announced strike not only at the end of the holiday season but the beginning of september and people are going back to school. this is not good news. it's an interesting angle, on the ryanair story, we've it's an interesting angle, on the rya nair story, we've heard it's an interesting angle, on the ryanair story, we've heard from their management that about 1000 people in both cabin crew and pilots, they are overstaffed to some people are going to think, i can't help thinking that it's part of rejigging the ryanair model, which has been huge successful. there are many airlines, small airlines have gone bust and have needed bailouts and taking over as radio seems to be grabbing a share despite everything. that's what the times, million more adults are still living with pa rents. adults are still living with parents. the rise of the young people who ca

that is the advice being given by ryanair. we've also been told by ryanair. just vote for one airline pilots association decided to notjust vote for one but airline pilots association decided to not just vote for one but two strikes. this means the first one, due to last a8 hours until tomorrow night, and then we've got another one due to last three days from the second till the fourth of september. it's worth noting that it's not going to affect irish airports, but you are being urged to check before you are being urged to check before you travel. leigh milner, thank you very much. we will of course take an eye on those delays. a 25—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering hull university student libby squire. her body was recovered from the humber estuary six weeks after she disappeared on 1st of february. hundreds of police officers and members of the public were involved in an extensive search after the 21—year—old was reported missing. more than 700,000 teenagers are receiving their gcse results, in england, wales and northern ireland ami

this was obviously a bitter dispute between ryanair and the union about high, ryanair hit back and took ryanair will be the next strike, there is a strike date tomorrow but also in the two weeks at the beginning of september and whether the goodwill of those pilots from across europe will extend to another three days of strikes, that remains to be seen. here at stansted passengers are happy and getting off on their summer holidays. as someone who is due to be getting on one later, i am keeping my fingers crossed. thank you. brazil's environment minister has been heckled at a meeting on climate change over the record number of fires in the amazon. conservationists say brazil's far—right president, jair bolsonaro, has encouraged the clearing of land by loggers and farmers — thereby speeding up the deforestation of the rainforest. now mr bolsonaro has blamed environmental organisations for creating the fires after theirfunding was cut. nathalia passarinho is from the bbc‘s brazilian servicewhat what lies behind these devastating fires? as much as the government has tried to minimise the fi

why is ryanair so confident?ew days, waiting for this down to the wire decision by the high court who voted in favour of the pilots union, allowing the strike to go ahead of ryanair pilots allowing the strike to go ahead of rya nair pilots based allowing the strike to go ahead of ryanair pilots based here in the uk. it is due to begin at midnight tonight and last for 48 hours but as you said, the company have put out a lot of information saying that actually most peoples flights will be completely unaffected. they expect to run a full schedule for the next two days and people should turn up at the airport as normal, checkin turn up at the airport as normal, check in as normal and they will be able to operate those flights will stop the company have a significant number of pilots in other countries and they say they will be able to field the flights or man them on that basis. the union had been fighting over pay and conditions, ryanair say that pilots are already very well paid but the concern for passengers is to

more bad news for ryanair. of 100 companies — for the sixth year in a row. respondents to the survey by which branded the company greedy, sneaky and arrogant. us toy maker hasbro is buying the company behind peppa pig. it's paying more than £3 billion for entertainment 0ne because it wants to expand its entertainment business. so the low cost airline, ryanair, has been rated the worst firm for customer service out of 100 popular british brands. passengers complained about unhelpful staff and said complaints were not handled properly. three of the words chosen to describe the company's service were "sneaky, greedy and arrogant. " the which survey also put british airways, bt and british gas near the bottom of the list. at the top were clarks shoes, next and john lewis with customers approving of the service offered. how did you carry out the survey? we surveyed 4000 members of the public and asked about their experience of using 100 top brands and asked in particular how valid they are made to feel by the compan

ryanair has rya nair has lost ryanair has lost a high court bid to block strikes by uk pilots.te over pay and conditions. ryanair said it would aim to minimise disruption for passengers and will be able to run its full schedule of flights. earlier i spoke to our reporter and she said it's been a worrying time for passengers. passengers have been on tenterhooks all day for this decision which eventually came right down to the wire. it will be fought out in the court and ryanair wire. it will be fought out in the court and rya nair was wire. it will be fought out in the court and ryanair was trying to prevent uk pilots from going on strike but they failed, as you say, so the strike will go ahead at midnightand so the strike will go ahead at midnight and it's expected to last 48 hours. it's worth mentioning ryanair was 48 hours. it's worth mentioning rya nair was successful 48 hours. it's worth mentioning ryanair was successful earlier today in blocking irish pilots from taking pa rt in blocking irish pilots from taking part in this strike, but the uk pilots are definitely going o

right across the uk, ryanair flights are running smoothly. being on strike for 48 hours, the company say this morning 97% of flights were running on time and they're delighted by that. passengers in portugal, where crew and pilots are on strike, have been told of a flight‘s push back by seven hours. all i've had is the initial e—mail saying that the flight had been changed to seven hours later. but, no, they've not kept us informed of anything else. if you go on the website, it just says that flights are running as normal, so we've kind of got to trust them on that at the moment. ryanair have more than 1000 pilots based here in the uk and they've told me today that the vast majority of their pilots turned up for work as normal this morning. they say they haven't had to bring in extra pilots from elsewhere in europe, that they have brought in some extra staff, that others based here in the uk volunteered for extra shifts and they claim that plenty of union members turned up for work as normal today as well. the unions say pilots in ryanair are

that is where many ryanair flights are based. 0ur ryanair living up to the promise to run flights aso that promise this morning. inside it is pretty relaxed considering it is the middle of the summer holidays and there is a strike action. this is ryanair‘s and there is a strike action. this is rya nair‘s busy and there is a strike action. this is ryanair‘s busy period, the morning time, remember, and it is all going smoothly so far. that was the vow of michael 0'leary at ryanair yesterday. that today's schedule would run in full. that is largely because they have brought in ca pta i ns largely because they have brought in captains from different bases around europe. that is because ryanair operates over a50 planes. every single one of those aircraft is the same model, which means that all those pilots are able to fly the same model, so they have relied on the goodwill of pilots across europe and they thank them for that. they have all come into bases around the uk and they have been able to operate to ryanair‘s schedule so far today. the real test for michael 0'leary and ryanair will

so far today, ryanair have bitterly disappointed.un their schedule to time which is exactly what michael 0'leary missed passengers yesterday after losing that high court battle to stop this walk—out over hundred and 80 pilots. they have managed to get some uk staff who were on days off to work. and some stuff from overseas. they only operate one type of aircraft which means all the pilots can operate that aircraft. pilots brought in from european bases have been brought in to fly the uk schedule. they normally have two to three crews on hand for emergency at uk airports, here they have 15 today. so a bitter spat between the union and ryanair and it is away from michael 0'leary to save face. while... there is still a walk—out tomorrow and in two weeks' time there is a three—day walk—out planned by pilots. the question is that will the goodwill of those staff brought in today still be there in september and will the warnings of falling profit and possible staff members facing redundancies and in spain, as well, you have to have in crew
