Ryanair has cut flights at 19 major airport across Europe, including in the UK ahead of the busy summer holiday season. The budget airline has made the changes to optimise its strategic network, ease economic pressures and manage rising costs.
The cuts follow a period in which travellers from the UK to Europe faced hours‑long airport queues, with some passengers reportedly missing their flights as new EU border checks continued to cause widespread disruption. Due to the changes, passengers have been urged to verify their itineraries and explore alternative routes. Destinations affected by the reductions include Berlin, Manchester, Krakow and Malaga, reports Mirror Online.
The move comes as the budget airline works to streamline its operations and address seasonal overcapacity, according to Travel and Tour World.
Passengers flying from or into airports affected by these service reductions are advised to double‑check their itineraries to ensure their bookings are still valid.
The widespread cancellations form part of the airline’s efforts to safeguard profitability as the fuel crisis continues to fuel inflation worries.
