Ryanair axe Dublin flights from Robin Hood and Durham Tees Valley
16.03.09
Ryanair is to end flights to four destinations and reduce the frequency of services to eight others from Dublin in a move that it claims is a response to charges introduced by the Irish Government.
The budget airline is to end its Dublin to Durham Tees Valley and Robin Hood Airport routes, along with its routes Basel and Oporto routes in July. The number of flights to eight other destinations including Aberdeen, Biarritz and Carcassonne will be reduced.
A spokesman said the decision was a reaction to the €10 tourist tax and a proposed increase in air traffic control charges. Michael O'Leary, Ryanair’s chief executive, described the increases as ‘impossible to justify’ in a year when inflation will be negative. He said the airline would announce further cuts to its winter schedule later in the year.
