Ryanair to cut flights over Boeing delivery delays

Flight cancellations will take effect from the end of October

Ryanair said it would be reducing the number of aircraft based in Dublin Airport by two Charleroi, Belgium by three, and five will be moved from across its four Italian bases.

Ryanair has announced that it will be cutting flights this winter period due to delays in the delivery of new planes from Boeing.

The airline had been expecting to receive 27 aircraft between September and December but this has been reduced to 14 between October and December. The reduction is due to production delays at the Spirit Fuselage facility in Wichita, combined with Boeing's repair and delivery delays in Seattle.
