ARCHIVED - Ryanair announces flights to Spain from 1st July....last week they were cancelling flights to Spain
Last week Thousands of passengers received messages advising them that their flights to Spain in early July had been cancelled!
It’s certainly been a week of changing landscapes, as the Spanish Government has done a complete U-turn in its stance towards foreign tourists visiting Spain this summer, and now it appears Ryanair has done the same!.
Last week the Spanish Prime Minister was standing determinedly by his message that the health and well-being of Spanish residents took priority over everything else and that Spain would only open when the time was right to do so. Just last week border closures were extended and a 14- day quarantine imposed, the message loud and clear that Spain wasn´t ready to open its borders just yet.
Then announcements by the Italian and Greek tourist authorities that they were ready to take the risk of opening their borders for tourists put the Spanish government under significant pressure from businesses, anxious to get back to work and try to recover lost income.
The PM knows it’s a risk, knows that every contact increases the chance of the virus returning to Spain, but also knows that if he follows his instincts and tries to protect the population from possible “death by Covid”, then he will face political dismemberment by the opposition parties when Spain enters a major recession this autumn.
He’s caught between a rock and a hard place and can do no right, whichever path he chooses.
So, Spain has opted to allow in the foreign tourists and re-activate its important job-generating tourism sector for the summer.
Last week Ryanair messaged thousands of clients who had taken up the offer of early July flights to Spain informing them that their flights to Spain had been cancelled….
But that was last week!!
And this is now!!!
Here is the press release from Ryanair:
"Italy, Cyprus, Greece, Portugal, Spain Now Open For Holidays
Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, today (Tues 26 May) confirmed it plans to operate 40% of its normal July flight schedule, as Spain this weekend, announced it would remove travel and visitor restrictions from 1 July, mirroring earlier plans announced by Italy, Cyprus, Greece, and Portugal to reopen their hotels and beaches for the key July-Aug family holiday season.
Ryanair will be offering daily flights from countries all over Northern Europe including Ireland, the UK, Belgium, Holland, Germany to the key holiday airports of Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus from 1 July.
To celebrate the lifting of these travel restrictions across Europe, Ryanair has launched a seat sale for travel in July & Aug with fares starting from just €29.99 one way, but these seats must be booked by midnight Thurs 28 May."
Ryanair’s CEO Eddie Wilson said:
“After 4 months of lockdown, we welcome these moves by Governments in Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Cyprus to open their borders, remove travel restrictions and scrap ineffective quarantines. Irish and British families, who have been subject to lockdown for the last 10 weeks, can now look forward to booking their much needed family holiday to Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, and other Mediterranean destinations, for July & Aug before the schools return in Sept.
Ryanair will be offering up to 1,000 daily flights from 1 July, and we have a range of low fare seat sales, perfect for that summer getaway, which we know many parents and their kids will be looking forward to as we move out of lockdown and into the school holidays.
All Ryanair flights will operate with new health guidelines in place, which will require all passengers (and Ryanair crews) to wear face masks at all times in the airport terminals and on board our aircraft, in compliance with EU guidelines.
We look forward to welcoming millions of Ryanair passengers and their families back on board, and flying them on holiday as Europe’s economies begin to recover from these difficult recent lockdowns, which have been so successful in reversing the spread of the Covid-19 virus.”
Here we go again!!!!!!!!
