Flights to the UK, France, Spain, Romania and Poland will be affected.
Ryanair has announced that 22 weekly flights in and out of Dublin Airport will be cancelled between November 2017 and March 2018 as a result of a reduction in the airline’s flying schedule.
On Wednesday, Ryanair announced that it would be taking a series of measures to eliminate the roster-related flight cancellations that have affected hundreds of thousands of customers in recent weeks.
Amongst the changes announced was that Ryanair would be flying 25 less aircraft (of its 400 fleet) from November and 10 fewer aircraft (of 445) from April 2018, changes that will affect almost 400,000 customers over a five-month period between November and March.
As a result, Ryanair announced on Thursday that 22 flights in and out of Dublin Airport would be cancelled in that period.
Individual flights only on the list below will be affected, not routes. For example, Ryanair offers five daily flights from Dublin to Birmingham so FR 664 on Monday is only one of these five daily flights.
The other four Monday flights from Dublin to Birmingham will operate as normal.

A spokesperson for Ryanair said: “Only the 34 routes listed on our website will be suspended entirely for the winter.
“Schedule changes have been made on other routes with multiple frequencies, where customers can be easily moved to the next available flight, and all affected customers have been contacted and advised of their options. The list of these flights is published on our website. We advise customers to check their email – however, 99% of Ryanair customers will be unaffected by this slowdown in winter growth.”
All customers affected by the changes have received an email giving them between five weeks’ and five months’ notice of the schedule changes, offering them alternative flights or full refunds of their airfare.
They have also received a €40 (€80 return) travel voucher which will allow them to book – during the month of October – a flight on any Ryanair service between October 2017 and March 2018.
The 315,000 customers affected by flights cancelled in a six-week period in September and October, meanwhile, have also been contacted and offered a €40 travel voucher (€80 return), for travel between October 2017 and March 2018.
