40 STRECKEN IM SOMMER 2018
4 STRECKEN WERDEN NACH FRANKFURT AM MAIN VERLEGT – STRECKE VON UND NACH PLOVDIV WIRD EINGESTELLT
Dublin/Frankfurt, 22. Februar 2018. Ryanair, Europas Airline Nr. 1, gibt bekannt, dass die Anzahl der Flugzeuge am Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn ab dem 25. März 2018 von fünf auf vier reduziert wird. Im Sommer 2018 werden insgesamt 40 Strecken von/nach Frankfurt-Hahn bedient.
Vier von dieser Flugplanänderung betroffene Strecken (Porto, Venedig Treviso, Valencia und Zadar) werden nach Frankfurt am Main verlegt und eine fünfte Strecke nach Plovdiv wird ab dem 23. März 2018 eingestellt. Alle betroffenen Kunden werden per E-Mail und SMS benachrichtigt und über ihre Möglichkeiten informiert – eine vollständige Rückerstattung oder eine kostenlose Umbuchung auf einen anderen Flug. Ryanair entschuldigt sich für die Unannehmlichkeiten, die Kunden durch diese Flugplanänderungen entstehen.
David O‘Brien, Chief Commercial Officer von Ryanair, sagte dazu:
„Die Entscheidung von Ryanair, die Zahl der am Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn stationierten Flugzeuge von fünf auf vier zu reduzieren, ist auf die schwache wirtschaftliche Leistung zurückzuführen, da die Nachfrage nach Ryanair-Flugzeugen an anderen Flughäfen in ganz Europa zur gleichen Zeit steigt. Die vier verbleibenden Flugzeuge von Ryanair werden im Sommer 2018 insgesamt 40 Strecken bedienen, darunter Sonnenscheinstrecken von Frankfurt-Hahn nach Spanien, Italien, Griechenland, Portugal und Marokko. Ryanair fordert die deutsche Regierung erneut auf, die Fluggastabgabe abzuschaffen, da sie eine pauschale, regressive Steuer ist, die kleinere Flughäfen wie Frankfurt-Hahn und Billigflugstrecken zugunsten größerer, primärer Flughäfen oder benachbarter Länder wie Luxemburg, wo es keine Passagiersteuer gibt, benachteiligt.“
Rutele Către București Și Milano Vor Continua Să Fie Operate Cu Aeronave Externe
Ryanair, compania aeriană Nr. 1 a Europei, a anunțat astăzi, 22 februarie, că va închide baza sa din Timișoara, cu o aeronavă alocată, începând cu 25 martie curent. Două rute către Milano și București din/către Timișoara vor continua să fie operate cu aeronave alocate altor baze pe durata programului Vara 2018. Toți clienții afectați vor fi notificați prin email și SMS, prezentându-li-se opțiunile disponibile – ramburs întreg sau transfer gratuit pe o rută alternativă.
Decizia Ryanair de a-și închide baza din Timișoara rezultă din performanța comercială slabă, într-un moment în care cererea pentru o aeronavă Ryanair crește pe alte aeroporturi din Europa.
David O’Brien, Chief Commercial Officer, a declarat:
“Regretăm închiderea bazei noastre din Timișoara, cu o aeronavă alocată, începând cu 25 martie curent, care se datorează perfomanței comerciale slabe. Două rute către Milano și București vor continua să fie operate cu aeronave externe, ca parte a programului Vara 2018. Toți clienții afectați vor fi notificați prin email sau SMS, și li se vor face cunoscute opțiunile disponibile – fie un ramburs complet sau un transfer gratuit pe o rută alternativă.
Programul curent de iarnă al Ryanair, care include cele șapte rute din Timișoara, va continua să fie operat conform planificării până la închiderea bazei pe 25 martie, și ne prezentăm scuze sincere clienților incomodați de această decizie.”
