Ryanair cut back on winter routes

[red tulip]

The big problem for ryanair is the fuel cost.It has only hedged about 10% of its fuel needs for the next year compared to carriers like BA who have hedged around 70%.So ,assuming the oil price keeps rising we may see many more cuts in routes.

Don't forget there is also Rimini - for many, much easier to reach than Perugia. Rimini are down to 3x a week I think.

Again only any good if you want to fly to the South of England as the East Midlands flight isn't there. Luckily my brother lives 5mins down the road from Birmingham so I guess I'm off to Forli this year

Winter flights to Lamezia seem to have stopped completely so that poses problems, but with Easyjet flying in to Milan and onward to Lamezia it will be a lot more travelling.
