Jan 31, 2023 (newstodate): After years of dispute and rounds of bargaining, Ryanair has at long last inked a long-term Collective Labor Agreements with Dansk Metal, representing pilots and cabin crew in Denmark.
   The new labor agreement secures the carrier's operations at Billund Airport, where Ryanair pilots and cabin crew will receive significant pay increases and other benefit improvements until April 2025 for cabin crew, and till April 2026 for pilots.  
   Ryanair made its first entry at Billund Airport on January 24, 2007, and in March 2012, Ryanair established its 48th base at the airport serving western Denmark.    
   But due to union protest and labor actions against Ryanair's opening of its second Danish base at Copenhagen Airport from March 2015, Ryanair closed down both bases in Denmark by July 2015.
   In November 2021, Ryanair returned to Billund Airport allotting two aircraft to provide flights on a network initially comprising eight routes to Brussels, Gothenburg, Lisbon, Memmingen, Sibiu, Seville, Tallinn and Wroclaw.
   The carrier is also operating to and from Copenhagen Airport, today operating over 70 routes from Billund and Copenhagen, connecting 18 countries.
   Next move might be the reopening of Copenhagen Airport as Ryanair's 2nd base in Denmark.
