Morocco, Germany and France have all banned Brits from entering their borders and as a result Ryanair have cancelled a third of their scheduled flights in January.

Ryanair have been forced to cancel a third of their scheduled January flights due ongoing uncertainty caused by travel restrictions.

The budget airline announced the cancellations in the wake of plummeting bookings as the omicron variant causes havoc across Europe.

The reduction of thousands of scheduled Ryanair flights by a third has been prompted by travel bans by France and Germany on UK visitors and Morocco suspending flights to and from the EU.

A spokesman for Ryanair said these decisions had hit the airline hard, saying: “The impact of these recent government travel restrictions, in particular last weekend’s ban on UK arrivals into France and Germany, and the suspension of all EU flights to/from Morocco has lowered Ryanair’s expected December traffic from 10-11m, to a lower range of between 9m-9.5m.
