RYR AXES MILAN, ROME, RIMINI, ALMERIA

Drastic reductions by RYR out of LPL.....

BOSSES at budget airline Ryanair today blamed UK taxes for a shock decision to axe scores of flights from Liverpool’s John Lennon airport to destinations in Europe.
The low-cost carrier has decided to axe flights to Milan, Rome and Rimini, all in Italy, throughout summer.
Flights to Almeria, in Spain, were also chopped and the frequency of flights on other routes pared back.
Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara said: “As the UK government has increased APD, yet again we were forced to close Liverpool routes to and from Almeria, Milan, Rimini and Rome from April and reduce frequencies on a number of other routes.

One wonders, if it is all down to the UK's APD, why nothing as yet seems to have been chopped 30 miles down the road.....
