Ryanair Holdings Plc is adding 500 flights to its autumn schedule from its base at London Stansted airport as
the discount carrier looks to win more customers after Heathrow extended a cap on capacity.
The extra flights will give Ryanair an additional 100,000 seats during the mid-term school holidays to destinations including Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece, the airline said in an emailed statement.
Heathrow said a daily limit of 100,000 departing passengers will now apply until October 29 as the UK’s biggest hub contends with a prolonged labor shortage at ground-handling firms.
