Ryanair cancels winter flights as Boeing delays aircraft deliveries | Travel Weekly

The budget carrier had expected to receive 27 aircraft between September to December but now expects to receive only 14 aircraft between October and December.

This explains where the cuts are to be; Charleroi, Dublin, Italy, Porto, East Midlands and Cologne.

Another travel voucher for a change of schedule flight from Ryanair, despite requesting a refund!
The travel voucher email states I can redeem within the next 12 months but the expiry is 2027…am I missing something here…?!

I am not convinced that this fully explains the reason why flights are being cut. During the winter there are far fewer flights than in the summer.
Ryanair are always loathe to admit that some flights may be cut owing to lack of demand but tend to blame airports, governments and now aircraft manufacturers.
I do accept that that deliveries are late but feel this is not the sole reason for cuts.

I wud agree cost of living crisis etc lack of demand probably as much to do with reduction as slow delivery is.

I'm sure that Ryanair will be delighted to seek compensation for the late delivery of planes for which, in winter, they had no need.

The East Midlands base only seems to lose a based aircraft from the 2nd week in November until mid December where frequencies seem to jump back up to the original schedule for the remainder of the winter season

It is still the busy summer schedule and they managed to find aircraft for extra Dublin and Edinburgh to Beauvais flights for the rugby. Seven Dublin flights today rather than two and three Edinburgh instead of one unless of course they cancelled schedule flights to fit them in which doesn't seem to be the case.

Is it possible to modify passport details for a future flight that I have already checked in for?
My passport was damaged and I am now awaiting a new one, I have a flight booked for next Monday which was booked with my old passport details…can I modify this flight booking with the new details or can I just modify in my profile within the app and it will automatically change the details for all my future flights regardless of when they were booked?
Thanks!

Have you tried phoning Ryanair or using their chat bot to ask these questions ?

Not yet, I just thought it would quicker to get an answer on here maybe first.
I will only phone Ryanair as a last resort given all the stories I hear about long waiting times etc, I cannot justify paying a fortune to be on hold!
Their chat bot is an option of course, as long as I can speak to a human!

Summer 2024
 

When will their schedule for Summer 2024 be announced please? Heard a whisper about a new UK airport being served.

Perhaps the much mooted transfer from PIK to GLA ?

My money would be on the odd low frequency Med route(s) to Norwich, Humberside or Inverness, perhaps Dublin-Southampton now they have their runway extension.

I’ve heard possibly 3 Summer sun routes out of Norwich, Faro, Malta and Malaga. But Norwich currently have an ADF which RYR find objectionable so something will have to give for it to happen

Apologies if this seems like a repetitive question, does anybody know what's going on with Ryanair loading flights from both Glasgow and Prestwick for next summer.

GLA-DUB was loaded, then subject to a major schedule change from June and is now in the process of changing again in June with changes looking likely in May as well.
GLA-WRO has a single flight loaded in March and nothing else loaded for S24
GLA-CRL/AGP/ALC/WMI/KRK are not loaded at all for S24

From PIK flights to FAO & MRS are yet to be loaded.

Again, apologies if this is a repeat question, just curious if anyone has any insight.

Somehow I don’t think you’ll get the answer you’re wanting to hear in here… 😵‍💫

Is there any explanation why on many routes Ryanair has not loaded April and May, while it has end of March and suddenly "jumps" to June?

they will simply do what suits them - not you

Plausible explanation given. Loads high and stable in high season and highly competitive. Less so in early season so waiting to see how the market is before releasing to avoid later changes.

MOL getting very vocal now about delays to Max deliveries, obviously directed at shareholders if earnings come in below estimates but must be another worry to add at the Boeing camp.

What is " objectionable " about it? or just that it isn't an ILS ?

ADF = Airport Development Fee
All passengers aged 16+ flying out of NWI have to pay £10 at the airport before going through security. This is in addition to what is paid to an airline for a ticket

Shame if thats holding Ryanair back from expanding. NOC have a Airport Development fee also that has to be paid before departure i think as well. Ryanair are atill adding new routes there

ADF’s

Believe me, hell will have frozen over before Ryanair add an airport in the UK with an ADF.
They only went back to Newquay because the ADF there was a dropped.
Knock is a special case, it’s in Ireland for a start and Ryanair will always defend that fortress. There are exceptions to every rule.

[QUOTE=toon22;11534863]They definitely dont defend Ireland anyway. They have a up and down relationship with DUB and SNN as well.

Since the start of Winter schedule they have moved all MAX out of Dublin as example.

Just watch their reaction if anyone else moves in on any scale to an Irish airport (south of the border). Go, from memory lasted 84 days.

He was on the news again yesterday and was saying the usual "it's the Seattle management" and "I would buy airbus if they were cheaper"

He was saying that 90% of S24 is on sale, but the last 10% is not due to a lack of clarity of deliveries from now until end of April 24, the latest he is aware is 47 aircraft by the end of June, but has confirmed that the airline will not take any deliveries in July and August (I think they did take some this year just to get them flying quickly and boost the schedule)

The last of this MAX order is due the end of 2024 and the MAX 10 is not due until 27, meaning that they have very little need for cash, hence why dividends are being issued.

As always with MoL it can be difficult to know how much is for media soundbites and how much is true.

Further to toon22's comment, perhaps notable that neither Easyjet nor Wizzair touch the Republic of Ireland with 5 million people in any meaningful way. Eurowings, Norwegian and Transavia each have just one or two routes to Dublin.

Fair points re Ryanair and Ireland.

But surprised at the S24 schedule. For example lots of routes ex FAO yet to go on sale that i thought be be popular.

Anyone know the reason for G-RUKE operating RUK8292 MAN-TIA on 18th Nov diverting to STN? I watched it take off from MAN, it seemed to dip slightly just after rotation, then didn’t retract landing gear - I assumed wind shear but then saw the diversion..

Likely not getting expected number of Max 8200 for next S24 and now engine problems on existing 737-800s

I remember those days! I think easyJet tried Cork too and didn't last long.

They tried NOC &/or SNN as well at the time

The only other LCC carrier I can recall that had a sustained service from the UK to the Republic was BMIBaby. I used them to fly into Cork from Manchester, East Midlands and, on one occasion Tees Valley. Although their punctuality was terrible, I think the flights I was on averaged a delay of about 90 minutes.

Jet2 also operated to Cork for years

Dubrovnik will be the next base in summer 2024 with 2 B737 MAX 8

Sarajevo will join the network with flights to CRL, GOT, STN, FMM and BGY

Ryanair are coming to Norwich, which considering Stansted so close is fantastic for NWI, but there is plenty of room for a few sun flights like they have done at Exeter and teesside. Surprised no Malaga but hopefully added in the future. Will definitely prove popular with the locals despite the £10 fee
