Greece: Ryanair complains about lack of winter incentives, shuts Rhodes base

Added 2022-02-04

Description

With an apparently auto-translated post in Greek on its corporate website, Ryanair called on Greek Minister of Tourism Kikilias to respond to its September 2021 development proposals to double passengers to 10 million, to introduce off-season incentives and to put pressure on Greek airports operator monopoly Fraport to lower its 'outrageous' rates. As part of its typical pressure strategy, it also announced that it will 'unfortunately not reopen' its Rhodes base. A blessing in disguise for Rhodes? There has not been any reaction so far from the Greek Ministry of Tourism.
