Ryanair shares flat on flight cut plan, while former COO Bellew feels heat at EasyJet 

The Ryanair flight was forced to land in Stansted London airport.

Ryanair shares were flat after it announced plans to cut 1,000 flights it operates between Ireland and the UK during August and September due to what it has called the Government’s ongoing “defective” Covid-19 quarantine laws.

The airline said the move would result in more than 200,000 lost passengers to Cork, Shannon, Knock and Kerry airports and “unrecoverable” losses to Ireland’s tourism industry.
