A few weeks ago, Ryanair announced its partial withdrawal from Berlin and the reduction of its operations in Hamburg, as well as the complete abandonment of airports in Leipzig, Dresden and Dortmund. Too main reason unfavorable economic conditions were indicated. According to the airlines, taxes at airports in Germany are too high and Lufthansa has a “price monopoly”. Events from Germany show that Ryanair can stand up and close its business if it wants to. Unfortunately, this is a bad sign for Poland.
Ryanair may limit flights from Modlin. There is a conflict
The website Fly4free.pl describes that the Irish carrier is negotiating a long-term contract with the Modli airport near Warsaw, which would include discounts for the carrier and would be, in one word, “low-cost” for it. In return, Ryanair would willingly and frequently use Modlin. However, no agreement has been reached for several months.
– I'll be happy to share the latest news about Modlin, but the talks are not finalized yet. However, if I were to announce any information about our offer from Modlin today, it would certainly not be positive for this airport. Unfortunately, the airport management still does not understand how the aviation industry works in Europe – he explained in an interview with Fly4free.pl Jason McGuinness, Ryanair's chief commercial officer.
Recently, the management of the Warsaw airport was supposed to send several cooperation offers to Ryanair, but none of them was considered satisfactory by the Irish.
Ryanair limits traffic because it can. There are more and more travelers
In parallel to the fights around the Warsaw airport, Ryanair is tightening cooperation with other regional airports. A few weeks ago, it announced new connections and a larger number of aircraft at three Polish airports: in Katowice, Wrocław and Poznań.
Besides, the lines themselves have been doing very well lately. WITH information posted on the website shows that in September Ryanair transported 10% more more travelers than a year earlier. 19.1 million people used the services of the Irish carrier.
