Singapore Airlines will reduce its fleet to just 9 planes by the end of the month. The airline announced that it will cut the majority of its operations by the end of March in the midst of the current coronavirus pandemic.

Ryanair, Europe’s biggest budget airline, has announced that it will ground the majority of its flights from the 24^th of March, and that this suspension will continue into April and May this year. For now, the budget carrier will maintain its operations for rescue flights only, to return stranded passengers to their home country, as well as essential flights for the movement of medicines, protective equipment and food supplies.

The FCO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) updated its exceptional travel advisory notice to advise all British tourists and short-stay travellers who are currently abroad to return to the UK where flight options are still available. The advice is not aimed at those who normally reside abroad. British citizens who normally reside abroad should continue to follow the advice of the local authorities in their host country.

As flight options across the globe are becoming increasingly limited, travellers abroad are being advised to act quickly and return home as soon as possible. Citizens from Ireland on short-term visas or who are facing employment insecurity, have been advised to fly home if they can.
