Perhaps it is the action of Wizz at Luton (LTN), but Ryanair has come to life at Stansted, where facemasks, in common with sister airports Manchester and East Midlands, are now mandatory.

The Dublin-based airline will clearly (privately) be monitoring passenger numbers at LTN. (See Wizz Air in this issue)

Bucharest, Sofia and Porto are added to its very limited current flight schedule. These routes will recommence from 15 May, with three times weekly services to Bucharest and Sofia, and a daily service to Porto from 22 May.

As most EU countries have imposed flight bans or other restrictions, over 99% of Ryanair’s aircraft are grounded for the coming weeks. Ryanair will comply with these restrictions at all times.

Ryanair 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 are very low. This limited schedule will now be extended to 28 May.
