Ryanair cancels 29 more flights from Rome

RYANAIR was forced to cancel 29 of its flights from Rome as Ciampino Airport remained closed for a second day following the emergency landing of one of its aircraft there on Monday.

In a statement, the airline said it was only operating nine flights out of Rome from Fiumicino airport.

“The aircraft operating Ryanair flight FR4102, which suffered multiple bird strikes on landing at Rome Ciampino Airport on the 10th November, is currently in the process of being removed from the runway. However, due to the damage to the main landing gear the removal of the aircraft will take some hours to complete and the airport will not reopen this evening,” it said.
