Show Notes
Europe’s biggest budget airline cancelled hundreds of flights earlier this month due to a strike by French air-traffic controllers.
Most of those were so-called "overflights" that weren't landing or taking off in France. As Ryanair's communications director, Jade Kirwan, has been telling me, the airline is demanding that flights using a country's airspace simply to reach the final destination should be protected in the event of a strike.
Also, what about increasing the free cabin baggage limit?
