Ryanair, Europe’s largest budget airline, has announced it is unchecking all customers booked on flights exiting Spain from 21 March to 28 March and advising them to apply for a free move on an alternative date at the “My Bookings” section of ryanair.com.

The Irish carrier has issued a statement saying, “In response to  the decision of the Spanish Government to “lock down” the entire country to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus, Ryanair Group Airlines (including Buzz and Lauda) has been forced to severely reduce flights to/from Spain, the Balearic Islands and Canary Islands from 24:00 Sun 15 Mar until 24:00 Fri 20 Mar.

“Customers that were already checked-in for their return flight may have experienced difficulties changing their booking. Today (March 17) we are unchecking all customers booked on flights exiting Spain from 21 March to 28 Mar and advising them to apply for a free move on an alternative date via our online service.

“Ryanair Group apologises for any inconvenience caused by this unprecedented crisis. The safety and well-being of our people and customers is our main priority.
