Ryanair-10
Ryanair is to reinstate flights across some 90% of its network from the beginning of July, with an ambitious bid to restore an air transport operation demolished by the coronavirus crisis.
While much of the network will be available, with most bases active, the overall schedule – around 1,000 daily flights – will only amount to 40% of the airline’s normal flying timetable.
“There will be fewer daily [and] weekly frequencies on trunk routes, as Ryanair works to restore some services on the widest number of routes, rather than operating high frequency services on a small number,” the carrier states.

“While temperature checks and face masks [or] coverings are the cornerstone of this healthy return to service, social distancing at airports and on board aircraft will be encouraged where it is possible,” it adds. This means avoiding queues and crowding, particularly during boarding.

Just heard Michael O’Leary interviewed on BBC, was amazed he said that it would be important that families sit together, says the man who split families up if they didn’t cough up to pre book seats.
The report also stated that there would be no queuing for the toilet, then O’Leary says he will sell all seats on planes, what a contradiction. So it’s all right to be crammed together but not to queue for the loo.

Ryanair were planning to start up flying in May. It got pushed to June.

Suddenly the media go crazy and say things are getting back to normal in July.
We will likely see the same spin from Ryanair next month as they delay again, then push things back. In the meantime won't offer refunds for 6 months.

Reading some of the posts here you would think that Ryanair was an airline that just operated routes out of the UK. It is a European airline that will make decisions based on all of its markets.
O'Leary was very bullish regarding the enforcability of the UK quarantine rules, if they come in, and claims they will run from the UK to the usual sunshine destinations. If however the UK government persists with it's travel advisories, then any passengers traveling against that advice will find themselves without insurance, which for many will be a deal breaker. Would I book a flight with anyone before the routes start operating? Frankly, no!

Would add to that, there are many travel insurance policies which will cover you for FCO advise saying ‘all but essential travel’. I have a client who has travelled to Iraq under ‘all but essential’ and was covered.

Well. Not really. It was more if you don't pay extra then we'll put you at opposite ends of the plane to your spouse or anyone else who's company you might expressly have chosen to travel with. The algorithms were specifically changed to "socially distance" us from someone we loved and place us next to a stranger. O'Leary is a gob****e. Don't defend the indefensible

Does someone have the up to date list of the number of based aircraft at each airport in the UK? I can't seem to find it on here, but I'm not sure the list I'm thinking of was up to date anyway.

EDI is 9x based usually, with 6 based this July due to the virus. PIK I believe is 2x aircraft in the summer and BOH is 1x based. Not so sure about the rest.

Let's just remind ourselves that the right to a refund for a cancelled flight is the law !!
He should be removed from the board of FR he is not a fit person to run an airline, either that or get the EU to remove FR's AoC unless it complies with its legal obligations
