Ryanair has
announced the closure of its service from Dublin
to Cardiff and
the transfer of these services to Bristol
International Airport
starting May 1, 2006.
According to Ryanair, its five-year agreement with Cardiff Airport
was due for renewal on that date but the airport has insisted on increasing its
passenger charges by over 350%.
“With effect from
1st May, we will be transferring these services to Bristol International
Airport. For those
flights up to the 10th of May, Ryanair will provide coach services
between the two airports,” says Ryanair’s Deputy Chief Executive, Michael
Cawley.
Cawley says they
will be offering refunds to any passengers who have already booked on Cardiff flights and who
don’t wish to travel to Bristol.
