The prevalent trend in route development nowadays: no marketing support, no flights.
Ryanair announced today that it will close all three international routes from Santiago de Compostela - to STN, HHN and CIA - from January 11, 2011. The reason for this cancellation is Xunta de Galicia's refusal to assist in promotion and marketing of the region in Germany, Italy and the UK. Ryanair will contact each passenger affected by the cancellations and will offer the reimbursement or the option of flying from another airport in the Ryanair network.
The cancellation of the international routes from Lavacolla means also Ryanair's withdrawal from its base creation plans at SCQ.
