Ryanair pilot encounter a bird strike during the takeoff roll, at decision speed (V1), and continue the departure. At that point, stopping on the remaining runway could be more dangerous than getting airborne.

Ryanair UK Bases – Summer 2026
I’ve put together a breakdown of Ryanair’s UK-based aircraft for S26, split by airport, operator and aircraft type. The table shows RUK and RYR allocations separately, with 7M8 and 738 aircraft counted individually, plus the total based aircraft at each UK base.

The main points are that Stansted remains by far the largest UK base with 50 based aircraft, followed by Manchester with 19 and Edinburgh with 12. Across the UK, the total comes to 126 based aircraft, which is a net increase of six aircraft versus S25.

The table also highlights the fleet mix changes, with several bases seeing 7M8 growth and some 738 reductions. Stansted, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Liverpool and Newcastle all show net increases versus S25, while the other listed bases show no change.

What is interesting is the number of visiting aircraft over day from other bases which can give a huge increase in movements Manchester can get up to 173 movements in a day but other days might be about 130 so does vary day to day

Just for the sake of accuracy, the lowest number of Ryanair Group flights on a single day, since 1st April, was 149 on 12th May.
