Ryanair pulls aircraft out of Liverpool base

Ten destinations are being cut from Ryanair’s Liverpool base with a reported loss of 50 pilot, cabin crew and engineering jobs.

Flights to Budapest, Faro, Paris, Friedrichshafen, Gdansk, Lodz, Salzburg, Santiago, Szczecin and Valencia have been cancelled this summer. Despite announcing a new route to Ibiza from Liverpool to start at the end of March, only two weeks ago, Ryanair is blaming Air Passenger Duty and the falling value of the pound for the cancellation of the flights.

The airline said more cuts to its winter schedule would be announced in due course.

The news means Ryanair will be shadowed by easyJet at Liverpool John Lennon airport. easyJet will have 8 aircraft based at LPL from the start of June.
