RyanAir blames new Omicron travel rules as cause for company turbulence

It had only seven million passengers last month compared with 10.2 million in November, just six percent short of pre-pandemic levels.

The budget carrier said that it operated 46,400-plus flights in January at 79 percent capacity. In January last year, it flew 1.3 million and its flights were 69 percent full.

On Monday Ryanair said that it made an £80million net loss for the three months to December 31, compared with a £267.4million deficit in the same quarter in 2020.

It said that while recent bookings have improved, price cuts maybe needed.
