A LETTER FROM RYANAIR UK LTD

8 November 2020

We have been notified at short notice by the UK Department of Transport that our crews cannot operate flights to/from Denmark without 14-day quarantine upon return to the UK, despite the fact they never leave the aircraft during their 25-minute turnaround on the ground in Copenhagen airport.

We have also been instructed that Danish citizens are not permitted to fly to the UK under DOT orders.

We appealed this baseless decision to the UK DOT this morning, explaining that there is no scientific basis for any such 14-day aircrew quarantine, but were advised that the Transport Minister Grant Shapps had made this decision and it cannot be changed. We therefore have no choice but to cancel all flights to/from Denmark with immediate effect until this bizarre and baseless 14-day aircrew quarantine is removed.
