RYANAIR has announced it will most likely trim some flights in August, because new planes they ordered from Boeing are late. Despite the delays to its fleet, the budget airline has reassured passen…
Ryanair was one of the UK airlines least affected by the delays and cancellations that caused widespread disruption to holidaymakers.
But while the airline doesn't expect a repeat of the travel chaos, Wilson said: "It's not going to be perfect."He said: "The big issue is the impact of strikes. French air traffic control strikes started on January 19 this year. ATC strikes will be a major challenge in the summer and cause a lot of delays.
“Each strike day costs us 18,000-20,000 passengers because we have to cancel flights. There is a simple solution which is to protect overflights during ATC strikes, which is what they already do in Greece and Italy." A spokesperson from Ryanair told Sun Online Travel: "Boeing’s announcement does not affect Ryanair’s current fleet of 540 737 aircraft.
"We are currently assessing with Boeing how this will impact the 24 737 aircraft which are scheduled for delivery in the remainder of April, May, and June.".
