Ryan Air Cuts Capacity in Spain Due to Rising Airport Fees
In a significant move impacting the travel landscape, European budget airline Ryanair has announced substantial cuts to its Spanish network for the summer of 2025. This decision is a direct result of an escalating conflict with Spain's state-owned airport operator, Aena, over soaring airport fees. The airline is poised to reduce capacity by 800,000 seats and discontinue 12 routes, arguing that the fees levied by Aena are excessively high.
