Ryanair has announced its largest summer schedule from its three London airports, Gatwick, Luton and Stansted as its boss says it will be the first airline to return to Ukraine when it is safe.

The airline is introducing 14 new routes from the airports to destinations such as Naples, Madeira and Stockholm. Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said: “We are pleased to announce 14 new routes from our three London airports, Stansted, Luton and Gatwick.

“As all Covid-19 travel restrictions have now been lifted, UK citizens and visitors can book a well-deserved summer getaway to exciting destinations such as Helsinki, Madeira and Naples. Ryanair is driving London’s post-Covid recovery as we grow across Europe, with new aircraft and new routes.”

Ryanair has announced it will be the first airline to return to Ukraine “when it’s safe to do so”.

Chief executive Michael O’Leary said that may not happen until the winter. He added: “We do want to see the Ukrainians succeed.”
