Ryanair is to cancel 40 to 50 flights every day for the next six weeks, in a bid to improve punctuality of flights. The budget Irish-based airline announced the plan on Friday, saying that it was "unacceptable" that its punctuality had fallen below 80% in the first half of this month.It also said it had to clear a backlog of staff leave by the end of the year.The move could affect up to 285,000 passengers, who will be offered alternative flights or refunds.Ryanair said that less than 2% of its flights would be cancelled and the move would help it hit its annual punctuality target of 90%.But passengers have complained about the short notice of the cancellations.Ryanair plane makes emergency landing at East Midlands AirportRyanair cuts cabin baggage limit to speed up boardingGary Cummings wa...
