LOW-COST airline Ryanair has assured that all flights cancelled between now and the end of October are on heavily-frequented routes, meaning any affected passengers have a very good chance of being placed on another on the same or, at worst, the next day.
The Irish carrier has published a list of cancelled flights on its website as well as emailing all travellers.
Spain routes affected include one of 12 lines of flights in Barcelona and one of 13 in Madrid, whilst for the British Isles, one of 23 has been axed to and from Dublin and two of 41 from London Stansted.
Others affect Portugal's two main cities – Lisbon, with one of four cancelled and Oporto, with one of eight called off – and Italy with one in three cancelled from Rome Fiumicino and one in 14 from Milan Bergamo, two cities which have more than one airport, as is the case with Brussels where one of 13 lines of flights has been cancelled from Charleroi.
Although 2,000 flights in six weeks – or 40 to 50 a day – sounds a lot, the sheer number of trips run by one of Europe's most prolific airlines means that, in practice, the total cancelled only comes to 2% of those operating, meaning 98% of customers will still be able to travel on the flight they booked.
