ARCHIVED - Ryanair cuts Spain flights in January due to Covid
Andalusia, Murcia and Valencia will all have fewer flights in the new year
Covid restrictions have had a devastating effect on international travel in the past two years and, with the whole world firmly in the grip of the Omicron variant, budget-airline company Ryanair has decided to cut some of its routes in the new year.
More than 80 routes in and out of Spain are being temporarily suspended, with Ryanair blaming Covid travel restrictions for their struggle to fill up seats. These cancelations in and out of Spain come after the airline announced that all of its routes with Morocco were suspended until at least February 2022, due to the strict travel ban imposed by the African country back in November.
Palma de Mallorca Airport in the Balearic Islands will bear the brunt of the cancellations, with ten routes being cut in January. Menorca and Ibiza will also have fewer flights, three and two cancelations, respectively.
The Comunidad Valenciana is also having its services cut drastically with Valencia Airport losing nine routes, Alicante-Elche Airport losing eight and Castellón Airport losing another. A further 20 flights to the Canary Islands’ airports have also been retracted for the time being.
Andalucía hasn’t escaped the extensive cuts either, with six routes each scrapped from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport and Seville Airport.
Meanwhile, Ryanair’s decision to scrap their Wednesday route between Manchester and Corvera Airport during January will mean that the Region of Murcia’s only airport will see its traffic reduced even further. Flights and passengers, which were already scarce, at the Murcia International Airport have been decimated during the pandemic, leading to concern about the airport’s future.
