UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Aer Lingus Cuts Summer Flights, Fuel Prices Soar. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 20th, Airlingas just dropped some cancellations from its summer schedule because of mandatory aircraft maintenance. They are tweaking about 2% of their overall flights, hitting routes from Dublin to spots like Amsterdam, Athens, Berlin, Faroe, and Zurich. UK connections to London Heathrow Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh are also getting cut on certain dates. Most passengers are getting shifted to same day flights, so the vast majority should not miss out. The airline insists these are limited changes, and their summer schedule is mostly running as planned. Travelers might feel the pinch anyway, especially with Ryanair's boss, Michael O'Leary, warning about possible cuts across the industry. Jet fuel prices doubled in March thanks to Iran closing the strait of her moves over U.S. and Israeli strikes. Other airlines are reacting too. Asia Carriers, Trimming Services, United States United Airlines, and Scandinavia's SAS Hiking Fairs and Dropping. Flights to handle the cost. If that hormones closure drags into May or June, Ryanair says fuel supplies could get dicey at European airports, pushing fares even higher this summer.
Keep an eye on your booking spokes.
