Its capacity in October will be 40% of 2019 levels, compared with the 50% it previously announced.
Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said demand for future bookings is “terrible”.
He told Sky News: “Into November and December our forward bookings are running at around 10%, that’s about a quarter of where they would normally be at this time of the year.

Ryanair’s offer is only available on selected flights between September 25 and December 14 and only applies to the airline’s ‘value’ tickets.
Passengers returning from countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and the Netherlands will all have to self-isolate on their return to the UK.
