Airline Ryanair is set to close
its bases at Alghero in Sardinia and Pescara on Italy's eastern
coast, cut some flight routes and halt all flights from Crotone
in Calabria due to tax hikes, the company said on Tuesday.
Ryanair said it was reducing operations due to the
"illogical decision of the Italian government to raise municipal
taxes further".
The firm said during a news conference that 16 air routes
would be cut, 800,000 clients would be lost and 600 jobs will
go.
