Ryanair Holdings PLC said Tuesday that it doesn't expect widespread disruption this summer as continuing negotiations with unions and staff are going well, having negotiated collective agreements covering 90% of staff across Europe.

The Irish low-cost carrier was responding to media reports that cabin crew in Spain have voted to hold six days of strikes at the end of June and in early July.

"In Spain, we are pleased to have reached a collective agreement with Comisiones Obreras, Spain's largest and most representative union, delivering improvements for Spanish-based cabin crew and reinforcing Ryanair's commitment to the welfare of its cabin crew," Ryanair said.

The budget airline said recent announcements made by Spanish unions USO and SITCPLA were a distraction "from their own failures to deliver agreements after three years of negotiations and we believe that their strike calls will not be supported by our Spanish crews."

On June 7, SITCPLA said Ryanair had left the negotiating table after failing to meet its intention to implement revised salary proposals. The union said Ryanair had done this in response to seven European unions stating their intention to organize strikes at a European level in summer should the company not give a significant answer to their request.
