Strike action at Boeing has forced Ryanair to postpone the opening of its new base at Edinburgh Airport.
The budget carrier has put off the September 23 opening date for six weeks until November 5 because Boeing is unable to deliver new aircraft for new Edinburgh routes.
Speaking about the delay, Ryanair’s chief executive Michael Cawley said: “We sincerely regret the postponement of the opening of our Edinburgh base but unfortunately the two new aircraft which we had reserved for this purpose are now definitely delayed due to a strike by Boeing employees.”
He says: “Passengers who were booked to travel on our new routes during this initial six-week period will be refunded over the next seven days.”
“We sincerely apologise to all our passengers for the inconvenience caused by this forced change to our schedule.”
