KERRY AIRPORT UNAFFECTED BY RYANAIR CHAOS

KERRY AIRPORT UNAFFECTED BY RYANAIR FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS

NO Ryanair flights to or from Kerry Airport are expected to be affected as part of the budget airline’s effort to meet pilot and crew rostering and holiday requirements by cancelling up to 50 flights a day for the next six weeks.

Ryanair is cancelling the flights as it moves to reduce a backlog of holidays for staff caused by the change in the start date of Ryanair pilots’ “operational year” from April to January.

The cancellations have been allocated “where possible” to Ryanair’s bigger base airports and to routes with multiple daily frequencies to minimise inconvenience, it says.

Ryanair has now published a full list of its upcoming flight cancellations – up to Saturday October 28 – and no flights into or out of Kerry Airport are included.

While it is possible that Ryanair could still opt to cancel some of its Kerry flights this appears unlikely.

Management at Kerry Airport have said they do not expect any cancellations at Farranfore and that it is bigger airports that will be affected by the unprecedented action by Ryanair.

Details of all flight cancellations can be found at www. Ryanair.com. The airline says all customers will be informed by email if their flight has been cancelled. Those customers whose flights are cancelled will be offered a full refund or a seat on the next available flight.

Meanwhile it has also been announced that Ryanair’s Kerry Berlin service will continue next Summer.

Ryanair originally announced in February that flights from Kerry To Berlin would be available as part of its winter schedule.

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary has now confirmed Kerry Berlin is also part of the airline’s 2018 summer schedule.
