Ryanair closes flights from Warsaw

The Irish airline Ryanair has announced the closure of the flight program from Chopin International Airport, located in Warsaw, since March 2018. In a statement of the airline, the airline announced the termination of flights from Warsaw to Wroclaw and Gdansk, which annually fly more than 600,000 passengers.

The reason for the closure of the routes was the transfer in July of the current year of aircraft parking at the airport. The place allocated to the loukroster air liners turned out to be located so far from the terminals that the time for reaching the plane by buses was about 20 minutes. After the complaint of Ryanair, the Warsaw airport administration decided to move the parking lot a bit closer to the terminal, but since the business flights from Warsaw are operated three times a day, the airline considered such a distance too irrational.

Now, negotiations between the airline Ryanair and the airport terminal management are underway, and if the parties do not come to any compromise, after the cancellation of flights to Gdansk and Wroclaw from Chopin airport, only Warsaw-Szczecin flights will fly (the flight runs at a frequency of once a day).

Recall that earlier the low-cost Ryanair transferred to Chopin airport all flights from Modlin airport, which is the base of this airline in the Polish capital, for the convenience of passengers, as the previously used terminal is 40 kilometers from Warsaw, while Lotnisko Chopina is located only 8 kilometers from the center cities.
