Overview
Ryanair announced in April 2020 that it would not be flying to Greece for the summer season due to the coronavirus pandemic. This was a difficult decision to make, as Greece has always been one of the most popular destinations for Ryanair passengers.
Impact of the Decision
The decision to not fly to Greece has had a major impact on both Ryanair and the Greek tourism industry. Ryanair have had to cancel flights, which has resulted in a considerable loss of income, and the Greek tourism industry has been left without one of its main sources of income.
Reasons for the Decision
The main reason for the decision was that the coronavirus pandemic had made it difficult for people to travel. The restrictions on international flying meant that Ryanair were unable to operate flights to Greece.
Alternatives for Tourists
While Ryanair are not flying to Greece, there are still options for tourists who want to travel there. Greece has opened up to some domestic travel and tourists can reach their destination by flying with another airline.
Future of Ryanair in Greece
Ryanair has said that they are optimistic that they will be flying to Greece again when the situation improves. Although there is no specific timeline for when this will happen, the airline is confident that when the borders reopen they will be able to resume flights to Greece.
