Michael O'Leary insists he won't quit and said: 'It's not my biggest cock- up'. Those who did manage to rebook were left furious after being forced to again pay hefty fees to check- in bags and choose seats, having already paid for them on their original flights. The airline charges £2 per person for standard seats booked online, rising to £1. The debacle affecting two per cent of the airline's giant customer base could cost the airline £1.

One passenger wrote on Twitter: 'To anyone trying to call Ryanair – dig deep. I spent 1. 5 minutes in a queue and it cost me £1.

Members of the Commons' Transport Select Committee want to probe the businessmen on what caused the 'major failing'. Tory MP Steve Double told The Standard: 'We need to understand exactly what's gone wrong and how to make sure it never happens again.'Today it also emerged 1. Ryanair pilots met in Dublin yesterday and discussed striking over working conditions, which could lead to even more cancellations. Travellers have been stranded abroad and offered alternative flights back to Britain days later, meaning they have needed to shell out for hotels, tickets and taxis home out of their own pockets. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is to investigate the crisis amid suggestions it was not warned of the cancellations - and will also probe claims Ryanair refused to fly customers home with other carriers.

Stuart and Sheila Mackenzie told Mail. Online they are 'fuming' after their flight from Bristol to Spain was cancelled via text last night and they had to rush to Stansted at dawn this morning to rescue their holiday. Victim Neil Johnson told the BBC: 'We managed to get flights to John Lennon Airport in Liverpool at a cost of £1,5.

The communication from Ryanair has been absolutely atrocious. We don't even know why it has been cancelled.

We're just really desperate to get home now'. American Ewen Callaway also told the BBC: 'We are about half way through what's going to be an all day journey involving a taxi and two planes. It's been a really frustrating experience. Frustrating and costly'.  During an extraordinary press conference in Dublin Mr O'Leary said: 'As the largest individual shareholder in Ryanair, I never give a rat's a** about the share price.

I couldn't care less'. Haul Ryanair boss to the Commons, say MPs.

EU because the majority have been given more than two weeks' notice.  The fiasco at Europe's biggest carrier has been caused by changes to its holiday year – a backlog of staff leave means it has too few pilots on standby over the next six weeks. That means any minor disruptions – such as weather problems – were causing knock- on delays for lack of staff cover. Ryanair chiefs decided to clear the backlog through the drastic last resort of cancelling flights. Passengers blasted Ryanair as 'a joke' at Stansted Airport, in Essex today. Holiday plans had been thrown into disarray by the last- minute changes, with travellers left counting the costs.
