The Rise of Rome
As Ryanair’s summer 2024 schedule unfolds, Rome is poised for a remarkable ascent, witnessing:
- 82 routes in total
- A notable surge in traffic by 15%, surpassing 11 million passengers per year
- A fleet augmentation with 2 new B737-based aircraft, bringing the total to 17
- A commendable creation of over 8,600 jobs, including 500 high-paying positions for pilots, flight attendants, and engineers
However, amidst this soaring success story, something of a shadow looms over Italy’s aviation landscape.
The government’s decision to augment the municipal surtax threatens to stifle growth, rendering Italian airports less competitive than their EU counterparts in Spain, Portugal, and Greece.
Ryanair’s Plea to the Italian Government
In a bid to safeguard connectivity, jobs, and tourism, Ryanair urges the Italian Government to abolish the unjustified municipal surcharge at all Italian airports.
This outspoken move is pivotal in positioning Italy as a formidable player in the European tourism sector, ensuring sustained growth in traffic, tourism, and employment opportunities.
