Ryanair to relaunch buzz routes
Ryanair is relaunching the operations of the rival no-frills carrier Buzz that it is taking over, with effect from May 1.
Ryanair will relaunch 13 of Buzz's 24 routes and is also keeping on 170 of the 600 Buzz staff.
Earlier this year, Ryanair announced that all Buzz operations would be suspended during April.
Ryanair said that former Buzz passengers, who have received refunds as a result of the April cancellations, can get a special offer to travel on Buzz's 13 routes during the month of May at half the price of the new Ryanair published low fares.
Explaining its reorganisation of Buzz, Ryanair said that it had received acceptances from more than 90% of the pilots of Buzz who had been offered new employment contracts.
