Ryanair on Friday announced it would ground more than 99% of its flights until July and said it had begun negotiations with Boeing about cutting the number of aircraft deliveries over the next 24 months.
In an unscheduled update, Ryanair pushed back the start of a return to normal scheduling to July from June and said it would only fly 50% of planned capacity in the three months to the end of September, usually its busiest season.

The airline, Europe’s largest low-cost carrier, said it would take at least two years for passenger demand to return to normal, which it said could result in the loss of up to 3,000 mainly pilot and cabin crew jobs.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...

    I can't see that stated anywhere, only:

    "But in an unscheduled update, Ryanair pushed back the start of a return to normal scheduling to July from June"
    Evolution, not revolution

    My flight is booked for 14th July. I am flying to dublin. However the opening of accommodation isn't due to happen until 20th July and Ryanair are still charging £90 to amend July flights. The chat service are next to useless, they're saying it's not their problem.

    Well technically it is not unless you booked the accommodation with the flight from Ryanair
