Ryanair may cancel entire April-May schedule

Ryanair expects to park the majority of its fleet over the next week to 10 days as the impact of the coronavirus escalates, and could suspend all of its services for April and May. “We have seen a substantial decline in bookings over the last two weeks, and we expect this will continue for the foreseeable future,” says the carrier. “We will continue to monitor demand, as well as govt flight restrictions, and we will continue to make further cuts to schedules as necessary.” It highlights that over the past week Italy, Malta, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Greece, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Poland, Norway and Cyprus have each imposed some form of flight ban. For April and May it expects to reduce its seat capacity by up to 80%, and cannot rule out a full grounding of the fleet. <br/>
