Low cost carrier Ryanair is cancelling eight destinations out of Budapest this winter after a dispute with the Hungarian government following the introduction of an extra profit tax. Airlines will have to charge an extra ten euros on all flights departing from Hungary to Europe and 25 euros to other international destinations. As a result, Ryanair has said it will switch some of its flights from Hungary to Croatia, among other neighbouring markets. In a statement, Ryanair’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, said, “We regret these route and flight cuts which are caused solely by the stupid and illogical decision of the Hungarian government to impose “excess profits” tax on the loss-making airline industry which now makes flying to/from Hungary more expensive and less competitive. Applying an “excess profits” tax to the loss-making airline sector in Hungary is inexplicable, and when other Central European airports have lower costs and no idiotic “excess profits” tax either. These routes and flights will be switched to other lower-cost neighbouring countries like Slovakia, Austria, Croatia and Romania, none of which have any idiotic “excess profits” tax on loss-making airlines. Ryanair is cancelling flights out of Budapest to Bordeaux, Bournemouth, Cologne, Kaunas, Krakow, Lappeenranta, Riga and Turin.
