Ryanair has slashed flights at 19 airports across Europe, including in the UK, ahead of its summer timetable.
Due to the changes, passengers have been urged to verify their itineraries and explore alternative routes.
Destinations affected by the reductions include Berlin, Manchester, Krakow and Malaga.
The decision comes as the budget carrier attempts to streamline its operations and tackle seasonal overcapacity, according to Travel and Tour World.
Travellers departing from or arriving at the airports facing reductions must verify their schedules to confirm their booking remains valid.
Full list of airports facing cuts:
United Kingdom
- London Stansted
- Manchester
Ireland
Germany
- Berlin Brandenburg
- Cologne Bonn
- Hamburg
Italy
Portugal
Belgium
France
Poland
Hungary
Romania
Bulgaria
Spain
The budget carrier has implemented the reductions to optimise its strategic network, ease economic pressures and manage rising costs.
The widespread cancellations form part of the airline’s efforts to safeguard profitability as the fuel crisis continues to fuel inflation worries.
The cuts come after Brits heading to Europe were caught in hours-long airport queues, with some passengers reportedly missing flights as new border checks continue to cause disruption across the EU.
The delays come following the rollout of the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES), which officially launched on October 12, 2025. Under the new system, non-EU travellers including Brits are required to register fingerprints and have their photograph taken when entering or leaving the Schengen area.
