Ryanair to suspend service from all Irish airports except Dublin

Ryanair will temporarily cease operations from all Irish airports except Dublin for a one-month period, blaming “government mismanagement” and a “complete collapse in travel demand”. From 14 November to 12 December, the low-cost carrier’s Irish services will be entirely flown from Dublin, it said . “Ryanair recently announced its reduced winter schedule, taking capacity down to 40% compared to the prior year,” the carrier said. “As a result of continuous government mismanagement and a complete collapse in travel demand, additional cuts regrettably had to be made across our Irish airports.” That means the airline will not operate from regional airports including Cork, Kerry, Ireland West and Shannon during the period. Cirium schedules data shows it is operating 325 flights from those facilities in October, with Cork accounting for 150 of that total. In October 2019, it operated nearly 800 flights from those airports, according to Cirium data. “Operations will resume on 13 December ahead of the Christmas season to allow Irish families to reunite,” the airline added.<br/>
