Ryanair to ground twice as many planes as usual
24 September 2008A senior official at Ryanair, the biggest discount airline in Europe, said Tuesday that the airline would ground more planes than usual as it prepared for a “‘very difficult winter.'”Howard Millar, the chief financial officer said he expected more carriers to go bankrupt in coming weeks as economies slow.
Millar said Ryanair would ground 14 aircraft at London Stansted airport, the Dublin-based airline’s main hub. That is twice as many as were grounded during the winter last year.
