Media outlets such as The Guardian and BBC have reported that Ryanair pilots are to conduct a series of strikes on 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29 September 2019.
As this event is now anticipated, there is no cover for claims arising from this strike action for policies purchased after 2:00pm (NZST) on 5 September 2019.
I’m heading on holidays to this region - what does this mean for me?
