Ryanair on Thursday said it will further cut its flight schedules from January through March in reaction to newly announced Covid lockdowns in Ireland, the UK, and a number of other EU countries. Europe’s largest low-cost airline now expects its January traffic to fall to under 1.25 million passengers and that the new Covid restrictions could result in traffic falling to as little as 500,000 passengers in February and in March.
