Ryanair to cut routes from Edinburgh Airport with threat of 300 job losses | Edinburgh and East | STV News

Budget airline Ryanair has announced plans to axe five routes from Scotland’s busiest airport.

The airline said the cuts at Edinburgh Airport are expected to lead to 300 job losses and passenger traffic dropping by 15%, from 1.8 million to 1.5 million.

Ryanair said on Tuesday it would reduce its operating aircraft at the hub from seven to six.

The move means the end of flights to and from Berlin in Germany, Malmo in Sweden, Murcia and Ibiza in Spain, and Estonia.
