RYANAIR is cutting services across Europe because it doesn’t have enough planes to meet demand – with less flights between Derry and Faro this year.
Flights between Derry and the Algarve won’t start until July, two months later than normal.
“Due to a lack of aircraft capacity, we regret that we have had to reduce the frequency of our route from Derry to Faro for the summer season,” said a Ryanair spokesman
“However, our aircraft capacity will increase over the next five years as we take delivery of our 180 new Boeing 737-800 aircraft order.”
A spokesperson from City of Derry Airport confirmed that flights to Faro are currently on sale from 2 July until 30 July.
“A reduction in the frequency of the Faro service for Summer 2015 is disappointing, however CoDA understands that this is due to a lack of aircraft capacity,’ she said.
