Ryanair plans to restore 40% of scheduled flights from July 1
Hospitality Ireland - 12.05.2020
Ryanair has announced that it is planning to restore 40% of its normal flight schedules from Wednesday July 1, subject to government restrictions on intra-EU flights being lifted, and effective public health measures being put in place at airports. The airline will operate a daily flight schedule of close to 1,000 flights, restoring 90% of its pre-COVID-19 crisis route network. Since COVID-19-related flight restrictions began in mid-March, Ryanair has been operating a skeleton daily schedule of flights between Ireland, the UK and Europe. From July, the airline intends to restart flying from most of its 80 bases across Europe, with fewer daily/weekly frequencies on trunk routes as it works to restore some services on the widest number of routes rather than operating high frequency services on a small number.
