Jul 03, 2015 (newstodate): In a fast response to the labor disputes around its planned base at Copenhagen, Denmark, Ryanair has announced its decision to move the aircraft allocated to Copenhagen to Kaunas, in Lithuania.
By this move, Ryanair will remain in Copenhagen offering flights to 12 destinations, but with non-based aircraft outside the reach of Danish union actions.
At the same time, Ryanair has announced the opening of a further three new routes to Copenhagen with a daily Kaunas service replacing its Copenhagen-Warsaw route which will close starting on July 15, and new routes from Copenhagen to Bologna and Edinburgh, which will start from November both with three weekly rotations.
-Ryanair will now switch its one based aircraft from Copenhagen to Kaunas as a result of this weeks bizarre Labour Court ruling which allows competitor airline unions to blockade Ryanair based aircraft at Copenhagen even though these unions do not represent any Ryanair pilots or cabin crew, says Michael OLeary, Ryanair CEO.
-Sadly, Copenhagen will lose out on these high paid Ryanair jobs as we move our pilots and cabin crew to other Ryanair airports elsewhere in Europe.
