Ryanair trims winter schedule, pulls four aircraft from Vienna airport
Ryanair will remove four planes from Vienna and cancel twelve routes for the winter timetable, affecting about 80 jobs.
The low-cost carrier announced that four aircraft currently based at Vienna International Airport will be withdrawn for the upcoming winter schedule, with twelve services discontinued. The airline blames the Austrian government's decision not to eliminate a €12 per-ticket air-traffic levy. The cuts are expected to impact roughly 80 employees. Ryanair had already reduced its summer offerings earlier in the year.
Why it matters
The cuts reduce flight options for travelers and threaten dozens of jobs at Vienna's airport.
