Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary vetoed plans for flights to Paris' Orly airport, citing higher airport charges as a key factor against the proposal. This decision underscores Ryanair's strategy to avoid costly capital airport operations.
The budget airline's business model typically favors regional over capital airports, a stance reinforced by this latest decision relating to Orly airport. Consequently, Ryanair continues to prioritize financial viability through cost-effective airport choices.
This year, Ryanair withdrew from Bordeaux airport due to disputes over fees, showcasing an ongoing theme of the airline's resistance to higher operating costs in major cities.
With Air France reallocating its flights to Charles de Gaulle, Orly has opened slots for other budget carriers, including Voltea, which seized many of the opportunities, indicating an opportunity-rich landscape for competing low-cost airlines in Paris.
