RYANAIR is to introduce six new routes at the start of the airline
winter season on 31 October 2006. From Prestwick the low fare airline
will offer Eindhoven five times per week and Riga four times weekly,
whilst out of Hahn ” Balaton, Biarritz, Nantes get three flights and
Valencia a daily service. Prestwick now has 23 routes and Hahn 41.
For those unfamiliar with northern Hungary, Balaton Airport is located
15 km from the city of Heviz. A bus service runs directly from the
airport to the city centre with a journey time of just 25 minutes.
Ryanair has also announced the cancellation of its twice-daily service
from Vasteras to Luton and a reduction in its Malmo to Stansted from
twice-daily to a daily service and a reduction in its Gothenburg to
Prestwick service from five weekly flights to three. Ryanair has of
course blamed airport taxes on these changes but with Vasteras 65 miles
from Stockholm perhaps it is not surprising that the route is not
viable. However to its credit the airline now seems to be joining the
mainstream of airlines, the route changes happening on 28 October 2006.
