What about the Bordeaux airport?
In May, low-cost airline Irish Ryanair announced it would close its base of operations in the French city of Bordeaux in November following a failure to find an agreement with the airport about fees.
The airline has been operating flights to and from around 40 different destinations around Europe from Bordeaux-Merignac (BOD), which was as of 2023 the eighth busiest French airport with 6.6 million passengers each year.
The head of route development for the airport, Cyrielle Clément, told Actu France “our first priority is to recover a large number of destinations that were only operated by Ryanair. As for the others, we’re working hard to identify the best companies to take over”.
Clément admitted that “in one year, it is impossible to recover all of the passenger volume, but we can meet demand with less frequency.”
