Ryanair to slash Edinburgh capacity

Ryanair intends cutting capacity at it's Edinburgh base this winter by 30%. A total of 8 routes face the axe with a further 11 in danger after it emerged that forward bookings are very soft. the airline currently operates 29 routes from the airport which has seen Ryanair's Edinburgh presence grow at an explosive rate in recent months. The news is unwelcome in Edinburgh and comes on the back of the decision by Delta Airlines to drop it's New York flight in September.
