Budget airline Ryanair announced a 3% pay rise for nearly all of its 2,600 staff yesterday.
The firm said all its employees across Europe - apart from its Dublin-based pilots - would benefit from the rise, backdated to the start of April.
The director of personnel, Eddie Wilson, said: "Despite high oil prices and over-capacity in many European markets, Ryanair will again be one of the few airlines in Europe to award salary increases and secure careers for our people."
