NEWS FLASH
Ryanair is discontinuing its seasonal flights between Vienna and Split. It comes as the carrier announced the withdrawal of a further two aircraft from its base in the Austrian capital over increased taxes and fees. The low cost airline maintained three weekly services between the two cities during the 2025 summer season. It previously discontinued its two weekly Vienna - Rijeka service. It will continue to maintain flights from the Austrian capital to Dubrovnik, Zadar and Pula.
In a statement, the airline said, “Austria’s air travel market is collapsing because of this harmful aviation tax - which is one of the highest in Europe at twelve euros per passenger - making Austria completely uncompetitive compared to lower cost EU countries, like Sweden, Hungary, Slovakia and regional Italy, where governments are abolishing aviation taxes and cutting airport fees to grow traffic and tourism. Ryanair has already been forced to cut three aircraft and close three routes from Vienna for winter 2025/26. Wizz, Level and easyJet have also closed their Vienna bases and Lufthansa announced a cut of ten aircraft from its Austrian Airlines fleet. The Austrian government. must now wake up if it wishes to save Austria’s failing traffic, tourism and jobs by immediately scrapping the Austria’s failed aviation tax and lowering Vienna Airport’s excessive fees”.
Love these Ryanair tantrums
ReplyDeleteLet me correct Ryanair statement : The Austrian government. must now wake up if it wishes to save Austria’s failing HUGE traffic, OVER tourism and IMMIGRANT jobs by immediately scrapping the Austria’s failed aviation tax and lowering Vienna Airport’s excessive fees”.
Delete@14:25 Calm down.
DeleteRyanair is a joke. "Low cost carrier" that gets special rules, subsidies and fee discounts yet all they do is complain like some ex girlfriend.

DeleteThey have been doing this since they exist, and so far has brought them so much profit. You can complain how much you want but at the end of the day they are the ones in profit.
DeleteDo you think Ryanair is the only airline that discontinues routes?
Delete@1415 you can think Ryanair is joke all you want. It is the most successful airline in Europe with responsibly to its shareholders. So think that all you want but business works differently.
DeleteWait responsibility to shareholders? Didn't we read here from in the comments how they are connecting families?
DeleteTheir comments are so pretentious, its cringy to read them.
ReplyDeleteIt's how most of the world speaks and thinks. They see the continental European way of speaking as pretentious because we always package everything whereas they are direct and honest.
DeleteTheres talking direct and theres making up facts cause they fit your crying narrative. Austrias tourism is not failing, its been increasing for years now (excluding the virus year), and Austria will always be a global hotspot cause of Vienna.
Deletethe simple answer is: the battle in VIE is over and they will move capacity to somewhere else
ReplyDeletein the meantime OS is wet leasing two more Air Baltic aircrafts to jump in. Wondering if they launch something in the exyu
We still have up to 3 daily OS that are usually full and of course OU with the dash flying empty seats and stale air.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is funny and true. I was at the airport this year when all Austrian flights were sold out and Croatia Airlines was nowhere near full but it was STILL more expensive two days before.
DeleteReminds me of situation in Vienna about two years ago : about same time departure to Zagreb, Austrian and Croatia, same departure gates aerea - OS full up to the last seat, about 100 pax, for OU, and 13 pax. Sad but true.
DeleteIf VIE is too expensive they can always move back to BTS. Problem solved.
ReplyDeleteLele niks becke frajle za galebove.
ReplyDeleteNema toga više, kakvi crni galebovi
DeleteLet Ryanair go bankrupt.
