Breaking: Ryanair closes a popular Budapest route

The war is too close, which is why Ryanair is closing its Budapest–Amman route. The Irish low-cost airline has been trying to keep the route up but has only been managing to fill the planes flying to Jordan with great difficulty and cheap tickets.

Ryanair closes Amman route

Ryanair is closing its Budapest–Ammam flight at the end of the winter timetable, i.e. at the end of March, Okosutas reports. Since the war started, the willingness to travel to Jordas has dropped significantly.

Of the countries in the region, Jordan was not the only one to suffer from the prolonged conflict: Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air had to suspend its flight to Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt for the summer.

At the end of last summer, Ryanair was delighted to announce plans in Jordan for a more extensive network than ever before. However, the drop in demand caused by the war has forced them to reverse this, Okosutas writes.

Wizz Air still flies to Jordan

Ryanair is not only closing the route from Budapest but from everywhere in the region from Vienna to Bucharest.

In contrast, Wizz Air is still flying the Budapest–Ammam route. However, due to the lack of aircraft, the airline has introduced the not-so-comfortable night schedule on the route. According to Okosutas, there is still a pile of 15-euro tickets left.
