Ryanair says it is operating a “full schedule” to wildfire-hit Greece including the island of Rhodes as evacuation flights get under way.
The company’s chief financial officer also said, while revealing the airline’s first quarter results, that there had been no surge of cancellations due to the record-setting heatwave hitting southern Europe more widely.
Neil Sorahan said Europe’s largest carrier by passenger numbers had not deemed it necessary to put on additional flights to the Greek island of Rhodes at this time.
He was speaking as authorities in Corfu began evacuations of tourists by sea.
