Ryanair’s ‘rapid’ refund progress

RYANAIR revealed it is making rapid progress in processing refunds for cancelled flights.

Its Dublin offices reopened at the start of last month and the carrier has employed additional staff to tackle the huge backlog.

It is hoped most will be cleared by the end of this month.

These figures include passengers who have accepted travel vouchers and/or free moves onto flights that are being operated until September.

Ryanair chief Eddie Wilson said: “We will continue to process these cash refunds as fast as we can, and would encourage any customers who haven’t yet requested a cash refund to do so with customer services and we will process their request as quickly as possible.”
