Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, today (8 May) added 3 London Stansted routes, to Bucharest, Sofia and Porto, to its current limited flight schedule. These routes will recommence from May 15^th, with 3 times weekly services to Bucharest and Sofia, and a daily service to Porto from May 22^nd.

As most EU countries have imposed flight bans or other restrictions, over 99% of Ryanair’s aircraft are grounded for the coming weeks. Ryanair will comply with these restrictions at all times.

Ryanair is working with EU Governments to try to keep some minimum flight links open for emergency reasons, even though the passenger loads on these flights is very low. This limited schedule will now be extended to May 28^th. Ryanair is operating these flights daily or weekly on the following routes:

Ryanair’s Alejandra Ruiz said:

“We are pleased to add these routes connecting London Stansted with Bucharest & Sofia (3 pw) and Porto (daily) as we work with EU Governments to try to keep some minimum flight links open for emergency reasons, even though the passenger loads on these flights is very low.

Our current limited schedule continues to maintain vital links across Europe to facilitate our passengers and their families to deal with emergencies that may require urgent travel over the coming days and weeks.

All the aircraft are disinfected daily and we ask all passengers to cooperate fully with our crews who are doing their best in difficult times.

At this time, we expect scheduled flights to return sometime in July. We support the action taken by EU Governments to combat the virus, and we now hope there is a coordinated plan to lift travel restrictions when Europe is ready to return flying once COVID-19 is defeated, which will hopefully be sooner rather than later. Until then let’s all take care of ourselves, each other, our families and our communities.”
