Ryanair plans to restart 40% of flights from July

Airline staff will wear masks and passengers will need to do the same both in the plane and in the airport when it is required. In French airports, wearing a mask is now obligatory for any passenger over 11 years old.

Passengers are asked to check their temperature before travelling to the airport, and this may be checked again by airline staff before boarding. They are also asked to keep a minimum health security distance of one metre between each other when possible.

The check-in must be done online, and passengers need to download their boarding pass onto a smartphone when possible. If you have to check in your bags, you should use the self-service bag check.

Passengers flying in July and August will also have to fill in details on their visit (how long their visit will be, their address in the country, and contact information) at the check-in point as this will be communicated to EU governments to help them monitor any isolation regulations.

Hand sanitisers will be available at the airport and passengers are asked to wash their hands regularly.

In the plane, social distancing must be respected where possible.

Queuing for the toilets will be prohibited and passengers musk ask instead to go to the toilets.

Onboard sales will be limited as no cash payments will be accepted in the plane – all sales must be paid by card.

All Ryanair aircraft are fitted with HEPA air filters (similar to those used in critical hospital wards) and all aircraft interior surfaces are disinfected every night with chemicals, which are effective for over 24 hours, the company said in a statement.

Much details are explained here:

Ryanair will operate a daily flight schedule of almost 1,000 flights in Europe if relevant travel restrictions are lifted, the company has announced.

There will be fewer daily flights, but Ryanair hopes to restart flying from most of its 80 bases in Europe.

Ryanair’s CEO Eddie Wilson said in a statement: “After four months, it is time to get Europe flying again so we can reunite friends and families, allow people to return to work, and restart Europe’s tourism industry, which provides so many millions of jobs.”
