Travel advice from Ryanair:-
Possible Industrial Action at London Gatwick Airport – Wednesday 6th October and Saturday 9th October 2004 - Passengers advised to Carry Hand Baggage Only
Servisair, Ryanair’s 3rd party ground handler in Gatwick Airport have confirmed that industrial action by the Transport and General Workers Union will take place on Wednesday 6th October and Saturday 9th October 2004. If the action does go ahead Servisair will put a contingency plan into action, so that we can operate all Ryanair flights to and from London Gatwick Airport to Dublin, however we cannot guarantee that a check in facility will be available for baggage at London Gatwick and Dublin Airport on the day.
Passengers are requested to carry HAND LUGGAGE ONLY, as we may be obliged to operate flights with no check in facility for baggage. Ryanair apologise that we may not be able to give advance notice of this requirement and recommend that all passengers carry hand baggage only, up to 10kg per adult passenger. Ryanair cannot take responsibility for the non provision of check-in facilities for baggage during this period.
If passengers are concerned with these arrangements then they should call Ryanair Reservations on the following numbers:
From the UK only 0870 246 0000
From Ireland 0818 30 30 30
From the Rest of the World 353 1 249 7851
Cheers,
White Cap
