Ryanair suddenly closes two Budapest routes
Ryanair is closing two Budapest routes from November. The Irish low-cost airline originally advertised these routes for the winter season and sold tickets for them for a quite long time. Now, they have withdrawn them.
One route to be closed by Ryanair from Budapest is the East Midlands, the other is Gothenburg. Ryanair was the only one flying to the British airport. As for the Swedish city, the loss of it is particularly painful, as Okosutas writes, because after Wizz Air dropped the city, Ryanair is now leaving it too: meanwhile, a year ago, both low-cost airlines had flights to the city.
According to Okosutas, it is relatively rare for Ryanair to cancel entire routes within a month or two. This is rather a practice typical of the Hungarian low-cost carrier Wizz Air. Ryanair has been previously selling tickets for the entire winter period to the East Midlands and Gothenburg.
Obviously, this is a different situation from when specific winter routes are not even advertised, which is how Bournemouth, Poznan and Rimini, for example, close at the end of the summer, Okosutas adds. However, there is still a chance that these routes will be back: we will find out around October, when the Irish low-cost carrier announces the summer schedule for 2024.
