Ryanair axe all winter flights from Bournemouth Airport
16.07.10
Ryanair has suspended all its winter flights in and out of Bournemouth Airport, blaming the Government's air passenger tax. The flights at will be suspended completely in November, December and January, but resume in February next year. The airport said it was ‘disappointed’ but said Ryanair had confirmed its long-term commitment to hub. It comes a month after the airport opened a new £45m terminal.
Rob Goldsmith, the airport's managing director, said: ‘We are currently experiencing the longest downturn in the UK aviation industry since the war. Leisure trips have been particularly badly affected and with so much economic gloom and uncertainty, people have been cutting back on overseas short breaks, or second and third holidays. We are obviously disappointed with this decision, but fully appreciate how tough it is for low-cost airlines to operate profitably, especially in the winter months.’
