Bad move for Orly with Ryanair! After announcing have been given the go-ahead for daily flights from Paris airport to Bratislava and BergamoThe ultra-low-cost airline seems to have decided against landing at the southern Paris hub.
According to various sources, the company's CEO, Michael O'Leary has reportedly vetoed the launch of the two new routes.
For Michael O'Leary, Orly suffers from excessively high airport taxes. This was also the case at Bordeaux. Ryanair has decided to leave the Aquitaine hub this winter, due to the increase in taxes. While Ryanair is in a position to generate a significant flow of traffic wherever it lands its aircraft, its inconsistency is proving to be a double-edged sword for the airports it serves.
In fact, at Orly, the airline would hardly be in a strong position to negotiate unlike the pressure it exerts on regional airports. Beauvais in particular.
While Bratislava-Orly and Bergamo-Orly are likely to remain in the realm of dreams, Ryanair, on the other hand, is continuing to expand from Paris's low-cost airport. This winter, the company opened Reggio Calabria in Italy and Rovaniemi in Finland. On 31 March, she will inaugurate two weekly frequencies to Essaouira in Morocco. And maybe Bratislava and Bergamo will finally be added to the list at Beauvais!
