Ryanair cancels up to a quarter of Italian flights amid coronavirus
Ryanair is cancelling flights mainly to and from Italy because of a drop in demand caused by the outbreak of coronavirus.
In a statement on Monday, the airline said it notified passengers that it was reducing its short haul flight program by up to 25% for a 3-week period from 17 March to 8 April in response to Covid-19.
“Over the past week, Ryanair has seen a significant drop in bookings over that late March/early April period, in response to the Covid-19 Virus. There has also been a significant step up in passenger no-shows on flights, particularly from and within Italy,” the statement said.
All affected passengers were contacted by email on Monday.
Meanwhile, Ryanair Armenia said flights from Yerevan to Rome and Milan will be operated as scheduled.
