With low loads, social distancing is being optimised on-board and Ryanair asks all passengers to cooperate fully with their crews who are doing their best in difficult times to maintain vital links to/from Ireland and to/from the UK.
A spokesperson for Ryanair confirmed: "At this time, we don’t know how long the lockdown will last.
"We fully support the action taken by EU Governments and we are ready to return flying when COVID-19 is defeated, which will hopefully be sooner rather than later.
"Until then let’s all take care of ourselves, each other, our families and our communities."
