Ryanair has no new plans at this stage for Ireland as it adds 500 flights at Stansted Airport

The extra flights will give Ryanair an additional 100,000 seats during the British mid-term school holidays to mainland European destinations 

Passengers queuing  board Ryanair planes at Stansted Airport; Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said both the carrier and Stansted have sufficient staff to handle the extra flights.

Ryanair has no new plans to increase flights out of Ireland this autumn as it boosts flights at Stansted following a move by Heathrow to extend its capacity cap on services through October.

Ryanair is adding 500 flights to its autumn schedule from its main British base at Stansted airport, it said.
