Ryanair to ground 14 aircraft at Stansted

Ryanair announced Tuesday that they would be grounding 14 aircraft from the fleet at Stansted this winter asa they come to terms with high oil prices and weakening demand. The announcement was made by CFO Howard Millar at a news conference in London. Last winter Ryanair grounded 7 aircraft at Stansted. Also this week and possibly sensing a large gap in the Italian market should Alitalia stop flying, the LCC announced that they would be commencing 6 domestic routes based at Forli from December 1.
