Budget airline Ryanair has announced some surprising changes to their summer 2012 schedule, canceling routes and reducing departures out of Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport. The axed routes are Liverpool to Milan, Rome, and Rimini in Italy, as well as to Almeria, Spain.
The reason for the cancelled routes in increasing taxes, and a Ryanair spokesperson stated: “As the UK government has increased Air Passenger Duty, yet again Ryanair has been forced to close Liverpool routes to/from Almeria, Milan, Rimini and Rome, from April, and to reduce frequencies on a number of other routes.
Passengers affected by the cancellations will be given the choice of a full refund or tickets on an alternative route.
