Ryanair launches rescue flights from £17.28 for Flybe passengers

Ryanair has launched rescue fares starting from 19.99 euro (£17.28) on five routes “to accommodate customers affected by Flybe’s collapse”.

The routes are Liverpool-Knock, Bournemouth-Dublin, Belfast-London Stansted, Bristol-Dublin and Belfast-Manchester.

Ryanair spokeswoman Alejandra Ruiz said: “Ryanair customers can continue to enjoy the lowest fares and most reliable service, and we’ve released rescue fares to assist customers affected by Flybe ceasing operations.

“We are working with the CAA to accommodate passengers who may have been left stranded or have had their travel plans disrupted by the collapse of the airline.

“We again call for more robust and frequent stress tests on financially weak airlines and tour operators so customers are not the ones who suffer.”

The fares are available for travel until the end of April and must be booked by midnight on Sunday.
