Ryanair has warned passengers that hundreds of UK flights could be cancelled next summer due to a global shortage of new aircraft caused by Boeing production delays.

While no cancellations have been confirmed, holidaymakers are advised to monitor their bookings. In other news, Ryanair's passengers are facing excessive flight delays today, Saturday, October 19, caused by European ATC staff shortages.

A warning has been issued to Ryanair passengers as a security staff strike has 'forced' several flights to be cancelled. The airline has sincerely apologised to all affected customers, who have been given the option to 'reroute or refund' their journeys.

Newcastle Airport is the North East’s biggest, with thousands of passengers boarding hundreds of flights each day. People from across the country come to use the airport for trips to Europe and farther afield.
