In mid-January, Ryanair was planning to operate a lot of flights between Ukraine and the rest of Europe in the summer 2022 season. It seems likely that demand for these flights is going to be very different to original expectations
For an airline with significant previous activities to/from Ukraine, FR is fortunate that their aircraft are not stuck somewhere with closed airspace or at (current) significant risk of being collateral damage of the fighting

Roughly how many aircraft (or equivalent usage) were earmarked on routes which touched Ukraine for S22 ?
What should the network planning team at FR do with these previously earmarked aircraft now ?
Hold out and hope that Ukraine flight demand returns to some semblance of normality by May ? Throw lots more capacity at routes between northern Europe and Spain/Greece ? Something else ?
