Some destinations are likely to disappear from Ryanair route map. Most recently Granada city has refused to pay Ryanair the incentives to restart several routes cancelled in recent years. The future of last two existing connections seems very uncertain now.
The French city Pau said it was ending the subsidies to maintain flights there because Ryanair's demands were "intolerable" and amounted to blackmail. Ryanair had asked Pau to hike its subsidies to 1.5 million euros a year if it wants to maintain flights to Britain, Belgium and Paris. The chamber of commerce in Pau has informed Ryanair of its decision "not to pay another penny in fees," said the chamber official today.
Meanwhile, the former Yugoslavian Republic of Montenegro could be getting some low cost flights in an apparent shift in government policy. Last year, the Montenegrin Government claimed that too many incentives would have to be given. The government is now singing a different tune. It now says that it will commence negotiations with 3 low cost airlines, among them Ryanair. The flights would operate on a scheduled basis.
