The budget airline also cut flights on Saturday and yesterday. European services, including those to Dublin, Cork, Barcelona and Budapest, were called off, leaving passengers stranded.
A handwritten notice in the luggage area reads: “For Ryanair cancelled flights. Please collect your baggage from Reclaim Four. Please rebook your flights online or on Ryanair app.”
The rows of abandoned luggage include baby buggies, rucksacks and plastic bags.
Passengers were still looking for their luggage after at least five more flights were cancelled yesterday.
Ryanair said: “Due to thunderstorms in Stansted on Friday Ryanair were forced to cancel a number of flights.
“The knock-on effect of this and air traffic control shortages caused further disruptions on Saturday including delays and cancellations.
“Affected customers have been notified by email and text and advised of their options of a refund or free move to the next available flight.
“Ryanair sincerely apologises for these weather and ATC disruptions which are entirely beyond our control.”
