Ryanair has announced the suspension of its flights to, from and within Italy, due to the “lockdown” of the country to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

Domestic Italian flights will be suspended from 11 March until 8 April 2020, whilst Italian international connections are to be cut from 13 March until the same date. As the situation concerning the virus changes every day, Ryanair has continued to follow the provided advice of WHO and the national Government.

The affected passengers will be notified of the upcoming cancellations and provided the opportunity to rebook to an earlier flight or get a refund or travel credit to use when connections are accessible again.
