Ryanair is about to open a new route between corsica and spain, probably Figari-Gerona or Figari-Reus.
If true, it would be a new clear evidence that the "state subsidised" strategy of the airline generates non sense/uneconomical decisions, as there is a very very tiny market for a route such as Gerona/BCN to Figari even considering the few VFR from Perpignan area. It would be as a disaster as for Figari Bergamo which exists has been operated less than 5 months!
You are kidding? look at Gerona-Alghero, it works very well. But also lots of spaniards want to go to corsica, the problem is that it is extremely expensive and they only options are to drive down to Marseille, Toulon, or Nice, that s 4 hours drive from the pyrenees. They can also take air france at MRS, ORY or NCE and this is the same sh.it, expensive and long journey.
I dont understand why ryanair opened Figary-Milan or Figari-Brussels, but for sure Firgari-Barcelona, Figari-Paris, could well be a big success. Anyway, the monney comes from the region of Figari, not from MOL's bank account.
