Ryanair flights could be grounded for three months as staff wages will be cut by 50% due to the coronavirus pandemic
flights are to be grounded from March 24. The airline hasn't said when it expects its schedule to return to normal.: "We’re talking about a close down that will last for at least three months."
He explained that the three-month lockdown comes after looking at the way China has handled the coronavirus outbreak, with cases now decreasing in number every day. Mr O'Leary added that this was only after "draconian measures" and that most of the industry had no idea about how it would play out in the UK.The pay cuts would be for April and May, in a bid to avoid "avoid mass lay-offs" although these could still happen further down the line.Desperate airlines are calling for government help as they are forced to massively cut their flight routes.
However, O'Leary warned government aid could put "well-run airlines at the mercy of nationalised airlines at the end of this process".
