Ryanair to close Dublin-Aberdeen route

Ryanair is to close its Dublin-Aberdeen route from the end of October.

The airline blamed the decision on the BAA's refusal to extend its low-cost deal on Ryanair’s one remaining Aberdeen route to/from Dublin.

Ryanair’s last Aberdeen – Dublin flight will depart at 2pm on October 28. Any passengers with bookings after that date will receive automatic refunds.

Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said: "Ryanair regrets the forced closure of its one remaining Aberdeen (Dublin) route, after the BAA refused an extension to our low-cost deal from October 29 and failed to match the competitive cost deals which are available to Ryanair from other UK and European airports."
