Ryanair has announced that it has been forced to cut its aircraft based in Portugal from seven to four, causing the cancellation of 5,000 flights.
The major airline says around 900,000 passengers and 19 routes to Lisbon are affected for Summer 2022.
It says this is due to Portuguese carrier TAP’s continued blocking of landing slots, which TAP cannot and will not use at Lisbon Portela this summer.
