However, given the uncertainty surrounding Brexit in March 2019, Ryanair reiterated the need for clarity before it publishes its summer 2019 schedule in the second quarter of 2018. Ryanair warned it may be forced to consider a change to its terms & conditions for travel to/from the UK after 1st April 2019 should the legal basis for the operation of flights between the UK and the EU by autumn 2018 remain undefined.

Ryanair’s Kenny Jacobs said:

“We are pleased to launch our London winter 2018 schedule, which includes 3 new Stansted routes to Belfast, Edinburgh and Nantes, and 142 routes in total, which will deliver 24.5m customers through London’s airports this year. UK customers and visitors can book our Winter 2018 seats from next month as fares continue to fall, so there’s never been a better time to book a low fare flight with Ryanair.

We remain concerned at the uncertainty which surrounds the terms of the UK’s departure from the EU in March ’19. While we continue to campaign for the UK to remain in the EU Open Skies agreement, we caution that should the UK leave, there may not be sufficient time, or goodwill on both sides, to negotiate a timely replacement bilateral which could result in a disruption of flights between the UK and Europe for a period of time from April ’19 onwards, and/or the cancellation of flights and routes, and the movement of our based aircraft to Continental Europe.

To celebrate the launch of our London winter 2018 schedule we are releasing seats for sale from London from just £9.99 for travel in March and April and available for booking until midnight Friday (9 Mar). Since these amazing low prices will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out.”
