It has begun. Ryanair began punishing the Netherlands, by stopping their flights already from one destination: Maastricht. The Taxes who are too high with our Northern neighbours, are the cause of this retrieve. It's their own fault.
The "ecotax", how it is called, killed MAA.nl, including the jobs of 110 people. The tourism to and from Maastricht, will definitely be reduced. Ryanair has put Maastricht and Aachen on the map, but with this initiative it's going to be forgotten again. People won't go to MAA anymore, they have to go to Charleroi or Eindhoven (Eindhoven, for the time being...).
Painfull detail: Last year, Maastricht spoke with Ryanair about a possible extending from 3 to 10 destinations! The NBTC (Nederlands Bureau voor Toerisme en Congressen) valued the expenditure per tourist on € 330, and thought there would be 150.000 tourists a year more in Maastricht. That would be 150.000 x 330 = € 49,5 mio !!! Byebye, that futuremoney! Byebye, that futureplan!
However, no worries for us Belgians! As a gift that we didn't rise our taxes, Charleroi gets three more destinations: Reus, Trieste and Bratislava. Go go Charleroi! Become the Ryanairhub of middle Benelux! Oh that's right, you already are!
