Eindhoven airport closer

[White Cap]

Hello all,

I don't know if this is the right place to put this news:-

From Ryanair:-

Ryanair have been advised by Eindhoven Airport that due to essential runway repairs the airport will be closed on the following dates ONLY:

Monday 31st May 2004
Friday 11th June 2004
Saturday 12th June 2004
Sunday 13th June 2004
Monday 14th June 2004

All Ryanair flights scheduled to/from Eindhoven Airport, during this period, will now operate in/out of Maastrict Airport (MST). Maastrict Airport is located 53 miles south of Eindhoven Airport.

A FREE coach service will be operating between the two airports :-

On Friday 11th June & Monday 14th June the coach will depart Eindhoven Airport 4 hours prior to the scheduled departure of the flight.

On Monday 31st May, Saturday 12th June & Sunday 13th June the coach will depart Eindhoven Airport 3 hours and 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure of the flight.
Coaches will depart Maastrict Airport, for Eindhoven Airport, 30 minutes after the arrival of the aircraft.

Ryanair & Eindhoven Airport would like to apologise for any inconvenience that this diversion may cause.

cheers,
White Cap

Why don't they divert to Niederrhein ?

I think it is because of the fact that it is faster from Eindhoven to Maastricht (via A2 motorway) then the route Eindhoven-Niederrhein.

See ya

Anything known about the other scheduled flights eg .....-Exel?

Whole airport is closed, so I think EHBK (Maastricht) will be busy with Eindhoven Airport flights.
