Low-cost airline Ryanair begins flying in Europe today with the resumption of 1,000 daily flights, coinciding with the opening day of borders to third countries.

"We are delighted to be flying again from July 1 and we encourage both our customers and our crew to follow Ryanair's new steps to enjoy a safe flight," said Eddie Wilson, the company's CEO.

Specifically, Ryanair will operate more than 1,000 daily flights from 200 European airports , restoring almost 90% of the network of connections it had before the health crisis erupted, albeit with lower frequencies and rates.

In accordance with EASA and ECDC (European Center for Disease Prevention and Control) recommendations, Ryanair has introduced new sanitary measures for both its crew and passengers.

Hygiene protocols

These include the mandatory use of masks, the reduction of the number of checked baggage, flights without cash and the improvement of hygiene protocols.

In addition, to celebrate the return to activity, Ryanair has launched an offer of 500,000 seats with fares starting at € 19.99 each way to travel in late August and September.

In the last days of June, 250 daily flights were already operating. "Starting today, we will operate 1,000 daily flights across our European network, corresponding to approximately 40% of our normal July capacity, " said Michael O'Leary, CEO of the Ryanair group.

During this month they hope to transport more than 4.5 million clients. These 1,000 "daily" flights mark a major turning point for Ryanair and the European tourism industry, "says the group's CEO. "Ryanair is proud to lead this revival with more than 1,000 daily flights at low prices."

Reactivation of the sector

The rest of the airlines also start part of their commercial offer today. Easyjet plans to fly 50% of its 1022 routes this July and 75% in August, despite the fact that they will have fewer flights, equivalent to 30% of the usual capacity from July to September.

Iberia will also gradually resume its short and medium-haul flight program starting today.

As for the long-haul network, the company said it is also ready to gradually resume operations once the situation permits.

During the months of July and August, Iberia, Iberia Express and Iberia Regional will fly to at least 40 and 53 destinations respectively in Spain and Europe, with at least 194 weekly frequencies in July and 359 in August.

Air Europa gradually restarted operations from June 22, when the Schengen area was opened and will resume transoceanic operations progressively from mid-July.
