Reports that Ryanair closing base at Portugal's Faro airport; Irish flights unaffected

Last week, chief executive Michael O'Leary outlined plans to cut the number of staff and planes at the airline.

Ryanair will close its base at Portugal's Faro International Airport from next year, according to a report from the news agency Reuters.

The SNPVAC cabin crew union told the agency of the closure today, with 120 jobs expected to be lost at the base as a result.
