Why are UK flights being cut?
Ryanair is trimming its schedule by two million winter passengers from November to March. This isn't just about fuel costs; it's a strategic move to ensure their remaining flights are profitable. Fewer flights mean less capacity in the market, which can push up prices for everyone flying from the UK.
