Irish low-cost airline Ryanair has canceled several scheduled flights from Zagreb in July, while flights for May and June were canceled earlier, reports Croatian Aviation.
Namely, Ryanair has canceled the following flights from its Zagreb base:
Brussels Charleroi, 2 times a week (instead of 5) until 18 July,
Sofia, all flights are canceled until July 19,
Paphos, once a week (instead of 3), until July 18,
Dusseldorf Weeze, 2 times a week (instead of 3) until July 19,
Frankfurt Hahn, 2 times a week (instead of 3), until July 18,
Karlsruhe, once a week (instead of 3), until July 19,
Memmingen, 2 times a week (instead of 3) until July 18,
Brindisi, all flights are canceled until July 20,
Milan Bergamo, 4 times a week (instead of 5) until July 19,
Malta, 2 times a week (instead of 3), until July 19,
Oslo Torp, once a week (instead of 2), until July 20,
Malaga, once a week (instead of 2), until July 20,
Gothenburg, 2 times a week (instead of 3), until July 18,
Malmö, 2 times a week (instead of 3), until July 19,
Basel, all flights are canceled until July 18.
From the beginning to the middle of July, Ryanair canceled 56 return flights on the 15 mentioned international routes, which reduced the number of available seats by 20,160.
The Irish airline traditionally does not go public with the reasons for cancellations, but given the many problems for airports and airlines recently, it is obvious that this airline also has operational problems that lead to flight cancellations.
Given that more flights were canceled in May and June, and even in the first half of July, which is the peak season, it is expected that in the next few weeks the Irish airline will reduce the flight schedule for the second half of July. Passengers who had tickets on canceled Ryanair flights received an apology email and were offered several options, such as a refund or a change in travel date.
Croatian Aviation concludes that one thing is for sure – the frequent Ryanair cancellations in Zagreb will certainly not positively affect the company’s reputation among passengers.
