Ryanair and easyJet axe routes
05.09.08
Budget airline Ryanair is to suspend five routes from Bristol Airport this winter. easyJet is also withdrawing a route - to Warsaw - in November due to a lack of demand.
One of the destinations no longer to be served by Ryanair is Porto, also known as Oporto, the Portuguese city that is twinned with Bristol. The budget airline has said that the route was always planned as a seasonal service and that it will re-open in April next year, despite launching the flights last November and operating them through last winter.
Other destinations to be axed over the winter, as a result of 'rising fuel prices and excessive (foreign) airport taxes', are Pau in France, Salzburg in Austria, Rzeszow in Poland and Budapest in Hungary.
A spokeswoman for easyJet also confirmed the withdrawal of the Warsaw service. She said: ‘In the current environment flexibility is vital and we continue to review our schedule. We may make further to eliminate unprofitable routes or to seize any opportunities that may arise.’
