Ryanair cancels three Vienna routes, demanding Austria reduce aviation taxes and fees. CEO Michael O'Leary proposes adding more aircraft if conditions improve.
VIENNA (Reuters) -Ryanair said on Wednesday it was scrapping three routes out of Vienna and pulling out three of its 19 aircraft based there in its winter schedule, demanding Austria scrap its aviation tax and lower airport and air-traffic control fees.
Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary told a press conference he had put a plan to the Austrian government under which, if Ryanair's conditions were met, it would add 10 aircraft in Austria over five years, adding: "Vienna will continue to decline until it gets its act together."
