Ryanair axe Prestwick – Stansted route; blame APD
14.07.11
Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has announced the budget airline's Prestwick to Stansted route will end in three months, saying APD has made the budget fare unsustainable. He said APD had been a ‘bugbear’ of Ryanair, particularly on domestic flights.
Mr O’Leary said Ryanair is axing the route at the end of October as it was ‘nuts’ that a £12 APD was imposed on a £9 flight. He added: 'For a flight of £9 you are looking at a duty charge of £12 and £24 for a return … it’s nuts and is just not sustainable.’
