Cuts, cuts, cuts...
Ryanair plans to cut half of its flights to Finland, completely giving up the routes to Turku for the winter season. The airline will also halve flights into Lappeenranta and Tampere in an attempt to improve profitability.

Communications Director Stephen McNamara said that Turku is a summer route, which the carrier will abandon from the beginning of November.
Customers accustomed to cheap flights into Tampere will find the Ryanair service cut by more than half from 14 flights to 5 this winter.
The airline said that flights between Germany and Lappeenranta have also become seasonal, peaking during the summer -- and will trim its service as a result.
“This is difficult to understand because flights on this route have been almost full,” declared Lappeenranta deputy city director Kari Koriakoski.

Finally the true image of Ryanair. Less and less profitable airline unable to find any other solution but cutting its routes. Well, you seldom kill a fruit tree by cutting off too many branches, but it can finally happen, beware.
