Ryanair's planning to cut up to 3,000 jobs because of the "unprecedented" coronavirus pandemic.

The airline says it expects it to take at least two years to get passenger demand and pricing back to the levels seen last year.

In a statement, the airline says it expects to operate less than 1 per cent of its scheduled flying program in May and June of this year.

It's chief executive, Michael O'Leary, says a limited flight programme will begin in July;

"We'll carry about less than 150,000 passengers in the three months to June compared to a budget of 42 million.

We're 99.5% behind our original traffic projections. We do expect to be back flying but a limited program by July, August, into September."
