LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Irish no-frills airline Ryanair Holdings Plc. said all the flights to Romania's Arad airport have been cancelled effective July 31, due to the failure of the County Council and its president, Iosif Matula to sign and honour its agreement with Ryanair.
Ryanair (nasdaq: RYAAY - news - people ) said it will replace the Arad service with a three times weekly service from Bergamo in Italy to Berlin Schoenefeld.
The company said it had been looking forward to carrying 50,000 passengers in the first year of operations to the Arad region.
The budget carrier said, based on the short-lived success of the three flights per week it was running to Arad - which started in April - it had been considering expanding services from the Airport but now all plans for additional flights have been cancelled
