Travellers left angered after Ryanair suspends Belfast to Gatwick service for several months

Ryanair has been threatened with legal action for "persistently misleading" passengers about their rights following thousands of flight cancellations. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it had launched "enforcement action" against Ryanair, the first step towards court action. Ryanair was wrong to claim it did not have to re-route passengers on rival airlines, it said. Yesterday Ryanair confirmed that its Belfast to Gatwick service will be suspended from November until March. It is one of 34 routes which will be grounded for the winter season, after the company said it would "slow its growth". Chief executive Michael O'Leary apologised for what he called "sensible schedule changes". Nolan listener Billy is one of those affected, Stephen spoke to him and got reaction from travel journalist Simon Calder.
