Ryanair opplyser at mellom 40 og 50 av lavprisselskapets flygninger vil bli kansellert hver dag de neste seks ukene, mellom 1.680 og 2.100 flygninger totalt.
Ryanair gjør dette for å øke punktligheten, som er blitt mye dårligere i løpet av sommeren.
– Ved å kansellere mindre enn 2 prosent av våre flygninger i løpet av de neste seks ukene, fram til vinterprogrammet vårt starter i begynnelsen av november, så kan vi forbedre punktligheten, opplyser Ryanairs kommunikasjonssjef Robin Kiely i en pressemelding fredag.
Ryanair kansellerer
We have operated a record schedule (and traffic numbers) during the peak summer months of July and August but must now allocate annual leave to pilots and cabin crew in September and October (while still running the bulk of our summer schedule). This increased leave at a time of ATC capacity delays and strikes, has severely reduced our on-time performance over the past two weeks to under 80%. By cancelling less than 2% of our flying programme over the next six weeks, (until our winter schedule starts in early November) we can improve the operational resilience of our schedules and restore punctuality to our annualised target of 90%.
We apologise sincerely to the small number of customers affected by these cancellations, and will be doing our utmost to arrange alternative flights and/or full refunds for them.
