Ryanair opens new route from Stansted
The Portugal News reports that Ryanair has added the route between Porto and London Stansted to its reduced network of scheduled flights, running from 22 May with a daily service. The Irish company announced the new route May08. In addition to this new connection, in mainland Portugal Ryanair is currently flying between Lisbon and London (Stansted) and Dublin. In a statement, Ryanair says that “more than 99%” of its planes will be on the ground over the next few weeks, due to flight bans or other restrictions imposed by “most European Union countries”, but the company says it is “working with EU governments to try to keep some minimal air connections open for emergency reasons, despite passenger occupancy being very low on these flights”. Ensuring that it will comply with the established pandemic restrictions “at all times”, Ryanair adds that the company’s reduced flight schedule has been extended until 28 May and says it hopes that the company’s scheduled flights can be reactivated in July. “We support the measures taken by the governments of the European Union to combat the virus, and we hope that a coordinated plan will be implemented to lift travel restrictions as soon as Europe is ready to fly again and the COVID-19 situation is under control, which we hope will be as early as possible. Until then, we will take care of ourselves, others, our families and our communities”, the statement says
