Ryanair to close two Cork-UK routes
27/08/2008 - 15:56:51
Ryanair has announced the closure of two of the seven routes it operates from Cork.
From the end of October Ryanair will close its daily routes between Cork to East Midlands and Glasgow (Prestwick) airports.
The airline said the move follows a 20% increase in charges being imposed on these two routes by Cork Airport.
The East Midlands route will close on October 26 while the Glasgow service will cease two days later.
Ryanair warned the route cancellations would result in loss of 100,000 passengers at Cork this winter (200,000 in a full year) and amounts to a 6% drop in traffic using the airport.
