Ryanair to add three Stansted routes
Ryanair has added three London Stansted routes to its limited flying schedule during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It will restart three times weekly flights to Bucharest and Sofia from May 15 and a daily service to Porto from May 22.
It said all aircraft are being disinfected daily and passengers are asked to cooperate fully with crews ‘who are doing their best in difficult times’.
The airline said it expects scheduled flights to return sometime in July.
"We support the action taken by EU Governments to combat the virus, and we now hope there is a coordinated plan to lift travel restrictions when Europe is ready to return flying once Covid-19 is defeated, which will hopefully be sooner rather than later. Until then let’s all take care of ourselves, each other, our families and our communities," said senior communications manager
Alejandra Ruiz.
Ryanair said it is working with EU Governments to try to keep some minimum flight links open for emergency reasons, even though the passenger loads on these flights is very low.
Until May 28, it is operating flights daily or weekly on the following routes:
