[edit] Ryanair Pullout

On 10 December 2008, Ryanair announced that it would close all of its routes to Fuerteventura on 31 January 2009. Ryanair formerly operated services to/from Birmingham (3 per week), Bremen (2pw), Dublin (2pw), Dusseldorf (Weeze) (4pw), East Midlands (3pw), Frankfurt (2pw), Liverpool (3pw), London (3pw) and Shannon (1pw). The airline stated that the reason for the closure was due to a row with a local tourism consortium AIE whom they claim did not honour a financial contribution agreement with the airline. Ryanair claims that they do not properly promote the island as a tourist destination. Ryanair's Michael Cawley confirmed the pull-out and said the loss of 250,000 passengers annually was a 'black day' for Fuerteventura^[4] Ryanair keeps its costs low by requiring small airports, usually publicly owned, to agree to spend millions of pounds advertising its routes in return for commitments by the airline to deliver a certain volume of passengers. These agreements have prompted several complaints to the European Commission from airlines that have argued they were not offered the same terms.^[5] Following this disagreement, Ryanair have since agreed new terms with the Canary Islands government on a scheme to serve the islands until at least 2012, therefore adding Fuerteventura back onto the Ryanair network.
