A huge admin blunder in September initially led to 315,000 passengers being warned their flights would be axed - but the budget airline now says 18,000 more flights will also be scrapped from November.

Ryanair has blamed the cancellations on a problem with the pilots’ holiday rota – with many employees due leave that had to be taken before the end of the year.

It also said air traffic control strikes and weather disruptions were affecting its performance.

Following the new wave of cancellations, which will affect 400,000 passengers, O'Leary has issued a fresh apology.

He said: "We sincerely apologise to those customers who have been affected by last week’s flight cancellations, or these sensible schedule changes announced today.

"From today, there will be no more rostering related flight cancellations this winter or in summer 2018.

"Slower growth this winter, will create lots of spare aircraft and crews which will allow us to manage the exceptional volumes of annual leave we committed to delivering in the 9 months to Dec 2017."

Below, we've listed the full range of cancelled flights that Ryanair has so far made public - including 34 flight routes that have been completely grounded until March.
