Ryanair has announced that it will reduce flights to and from regional airports in Spain in response to higher fees introduced by state-owned airport operator Aena.
This is according to a report by Europa Press, citing senior executive Eddie Wilson.
Wilson, who heads Ryanair DAC, said the airline will announce next Wednesday that it plans to cut about one million passenger seats at regional airports during the winter season. Ryanair is the largest airline in Spain by passenger numbers.
In January, the airline had already confirmed it would cut 800,000 passenger seats in Spain’s regional airports during the summer.
Aena has approved a 6.5% increase in fees for airlines next year to help fund expansion projects at Madrid and Barcelona’s main airports. The company did not immediately comment on the development.
