Ryanair has hit out at the UK and Irish governments for their handling of coronavirus vaccine roll-outs while slashing its flight schedules and passenger forecasts.
The no-frills carrier said it was to “significantly cut” services from Thursday 21st January which would result in “few, if any, flights being operated to/from Ireland or the UK from the end of Jan”.
The company blamed renewed COVID-19 lockdowns for the decision and said its cutbacks would remain in place until “such time as these draconian travel restrictions are removed”.
The statement added: “All customers affected by these further flight cancellations and further travel restrictions will receive emails advising them of their entitlements of free moves and/or refunds later today.”
