Ryanair Adds More Dublin Flights

In response to the pilot strikes at Aer Lingus, Ryanair, one of the top airlines in Europe, announced on 24 June, that it has added additional Dublin flights to and from London Stansted, Malaga, and Faro airports on Saturday, June 29, and Sunday, June 30.

Many Ryanair flights to the destinations mentioned above are completely sold out for next weekend due to the pilot strikes at Aer Lingus

In contrast to certain misleading statements on social media, Ryanair has not raised its prices in reaction to the pilot strikes. Instead, all of its flights are fully booked. Ryanair is now adding 2 more return flights to/from London Stansted on Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30, as well as 2 more flights on the Malaga/Dublin route on Saturday, June 29, and the Faro/Dublin route on Sunday, June 30 in response to this demand.

The starting price for these additional Stansted flights is €270 per person, while the starting price for the Malaga and Faro flights is €330 and €340 per person, respectively. Due to the high demand, we advise all travellers to book early as these flights will surely sell out rapidly.

Dara Brady, Ryanair’s Chief Marketing Office, said, “We decided last week not to increase airfares in response to the Aer Lingus pilot strikes. As a result, many of our flights next weekend have completely sold out. We are pleased to be able to add these extra flights to London, Malaga and Faro next weekend using one of our spare aircraft. These flights will sell out quickly so we urge all intending passengers whose Aer Lingus flights have been cancelled, to book quickly and early to avail of these very scarce additional seats.

In the meantime, we are working closely with Aer Lingus to accept some of their transfer passengers (although we have very limited seat availability) during the school holidays. We are working with Aer Lingus to assist disrupted passengers where we have seat availability, and we have also offered Aer Lingus some wet lease capacity over the coming days if that will assist them in helping disrupted passengers during these regrettable and unnecessary pilot strikes.”
