RYANAIR is removing 1,000 flights between the UK and Ireland from their website as the quarantine restrictions remain in placeHowever, the airline is still flogging a number of routes to Cork, Shannon and Dublin, despite the mandatory 14-day self-isolation on arrival.
The Irish airline said routes in August and September to and from Ireland would be scrapped as the country "maintains a defective quarantine restriction on EU visitors". The airline said in a statement: "Last week when the UK and Northern Ireland removed travel restrictions on short-haul flights to/from the European Union, Ireland became the only country in the EU with a blanket 14-day quarantine restriction on all arrivals from EU countries, most of which have lower Covid case rates than Ireland.
