Ryanair, one of Dublin Airport’s two biggest operators, has already begun to trim services from the country’s biggest airport this winter, with some of those cuts likely to extend to next summer. Ryanair has already decided to cut 14 routes from Dublin for the October to March period This is due to restrictions imposed by regulators on capacity due to the 32 million annual passenger cap.

Ryanair confirmed it would cut routes for the winter and said that it would be unlikely to restore all of them in the summer 2025.

Ryanair is to run its first winter schedule from Norwich airport. The no-frills carrier is extending flights to Alicante following a strong summer of operations from the East Anglian airport. The service will operator twice a week on Mondays and Saturdays.
