Budget airline blames flight restrictions across EU as passenger numbers fall
Ryanair is cutting the number of its winter flights by a third because of Covid flight restrictions across the EU and warned of further job losses as passenger numbers plummet.
The budget airline previously cut the number of flights in October down to around 40% of normal levels, but is now extending the capacity cut for the full winter season from November to March, down from the 60% previously planned. It is still hoping to keep its planes 70% full, in order to break even and “minimise cash burn.”
