Ryanair announce 'rescue flights' from Glasgow Airport amid easyJet and BA cancellations

Ryanair have announced a number of 'rescue flights' as easyJet announced they will be scrapping 10 per cent of their flights this summer.

Customers of easyJet and British Airways have been faced with cancellations and rescheduling as the airlines struggle to juggle the surge of holidaymakers as well as staffing issues.

Hours after easyJet confirmed they would be axing hundreds of flights, Ryanair have flown in and are offering 'rescue flights' from Glasgow Airport and the rest of the UK.

The budget airline have launched 200 rescue flights on its routes from 19 UK airports to Europe to facilitate UK families whose flights are being cancelled by BA, easyJet & TUI.

Sun seekers can jet off from Glasgow Airport to Malaga as the low fare rescue flights are available now at Ryanair.com for travel until the end of September but must be booked by midnight Thursday.

Other flights include;

  • Birmingham-Lanzarote
  • Bristol-Ibiza
  • Edinburgh-Gran Canaria
  • Manchester-Malta
  • Stansted-Alicante

Ryanair’s Dara Brady said: “While BA, easyJet & TUI cancel thousands of flights across the UK causing travel disruption for UK families, Ryanair continues to operate a full schedule with over 15,000 weekly flights, and today (June 20) we have added over 200 extra flights from/to our 19 UK airports to help the BA, easyJet & TUI customers who have been disrupted by these cancellations.

"UK families can now rest easy in the knowledge that Ryanair will fly them to/from their summer holiday destination to enjoy some well-deserved time off with friends and family."
