Ryanair to publish details of all cancelled flights

 

Irish airline Ryanair is to publish details on Tuesday of all flights it plans to cancel over the next six weeks. Initially, Ryanair only made available lists of cancelled flights up to this Wednesday, September 20.

The move following major passenger revolt, prompting a significant slump too in the company's share price as it looks set to be dealt a further blow of having to meet an expected compensation bill close to €50m.

 

 

The airline posted on Twitter: “Between today and tomorrow all flight cancellations up and until OCT31 will be communicated.”

The Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) meanwhile has expressed strong concern over the cancellation of flights by Ryanair at short notice.

Cormac Meehan, President of the ITAA, said, “Given the dominant position of Ryanair in the Irish aviation market place, this action has caused severe problems for thousands of travellers travelling to and from Ireland. For many, holiday plans have been ruined by this action where the option to change holiday accommodation is not possible or can only be done at a significant cost.”

Mr Meehan said: “Ryanair’s actions will also have a considerable impact on route schedules internationally where many travellers are dependent on their Ryanair flight to connect to onward international flights.”
