RYANAIR added more than 1 million seats to the UK winter schedule.
British Airways had cancelled thousands of flights over the next six-months. The budget airline then announced that it would increase its passenger targets for 2022.

Ryanair had previously stated that it would carry 165 million people in this year’s Ryanair.
To offset the Christmas and half-term holiday misery, this amount has been raised to 166.5m in 20 UK airports.
CEO Michael O’Leary said: “While BA are cancelling eight per cent of their winter schedule due to staff shortages and ‘Hopeless Heathrow’s’ capacity restrictions, Ryanair is now adding more capacity to our largest ever UK winter schedule so that UK families can book with confidence that they will get to their low-fare city break and winter sun getaways without the risk of flight cancellations.”
