Must read

Ryanair has shared a word of warning to those travelling from a popular UK airport today (October 24), and has updated flyers via its app.

Affected passengers will be notified travelling to and from London Gatwick Airport due to weather conditions.

Those travelling today should check the Ryanair app for the latest updates on their flight.

According to the Ryanair website, it reads: “We regret any inconvenience caused to passengers by these weather conditions, which are outside of Ryanair’s control and affect all airlines operating to/from London Gatwick on Thur Oct 24.”

Ryanair flies to several destinations from London Gatwick Airport, including Alicante, Dublin, Cork and Shannon.

Last month, the low-cost airline flew 19.1 million passengers in September down from 20.5 million in August 2024.

It comes as Ryanair has launched new routes from two UK airports this winter.

Birmingham and Manchester will see a total of 11 new routes added to their flight paths later this year. Birmingham Airport will fly to Agadir and Marrakech in Morocco, Paphos in Cyprus and the French capital France.

Other destinations at the midlands airport include Plovdiv in Bulgaria, Lodz in Poland, Treviso in Italy, German capital Berlin and Derry in Northern Ireland.

Meanwhile, Manchester Airport will see flights to Memmingen in Germany and Tangier in Morocco.

However, the airline hasn’t confirmed when the flights will actually start from each destination.

Jade Kirwan, head of communications at Ryanair said the airline would also be expanding their current winter routes.

Kirwan told local media: “Ryanair will operate a total of 39 routes to/from Birmingham this winter with extra flights added on 8 of our most popular routes.

“[This includes] city breaks like Bucharest, Budapest, and Krakow, alongside winter sun hotspots, like Barcelona, Malta and Porto, giving our Birmingham customers even more choice and regular connections at the lowest fares in Europe.”

Chris Woodroofe, managing director at Manchester Airportm said: “We’re proud to connect the north to the world, with a route network unrivalled by any UK airport outside London.”
