Ryanair admit a mix-up leading to the cancellation of flights

Ryanair admit to a mix-up on pilot holiday’s, having written to 400,000 passengers to tell them that their flight has been cancelled. The mix-up has left 18 million ticket holders wondering if their holiday plans are going to be ruined.

The airline company blamed a one-off pilot holiday roster issue, adding that it will cost them around €25m (£22m) in compensation payouts.

Ryanair are to cancel between 40 – 50 flights each day until the 31st of October. They are trying to focus their cuts on routes where alternative flights are more easily available.

Around 75-80% of customers will be re-routed within a day of their expected travel date however that still leaves as many as 100,000 ticket holders facing serious delays with possible weekend getaways being completely ruined.

If you have been affected by Ryanair's cancellation of flights, please remember to contact your car rental agent or please contact Green Motion car hire directly at greenmotion.com or +44 (0) 2071864000.
