Ryanair Asks some Spanish Staff to Pay Back a 2024 Raise

  • Ryanair asked some Spanish flight attendants in April 2025 to repay salary raises awarded since 2024 under a union deal now invalidated by a Spanish High Court ruling.
  • The recall follows a legal challenge by the smaller USO union that contested the 2024 pay agreement made with the larger CCOO union, leading to the court ruling in March declaring the deal null.
  • Ryanair asked USO-affiliated crew members to return thousands of euros and reduced their salaries to pre-2024 levels unless they switched union allegiance to CCOO, which is exempt from clawbacks.
  • One anonymous flight attendant reported a repayment demand of €3,857 and a salary cut close to Spain's €1,184 minimum wage, while Ryanair explained it complies with the court case and offers a 12-month repayment plan.
  • This dispute occurs amid Ryanair's 16% profit drop for the year ending March 2025, driven by a 7% fare fall, and reflects ongoing tensions over pay and working conditions in the competitive low-cost airline sector.
