Ryanair to cut up to one million seats to Spain
Budget airline Ryanair is set to slash more Spain flights with up to one million seats on the chopping block.
It could mean significant downsizing at Spain’s regional airports this winter.
It is part of Ryanair’s long running opposition to increased fees by airport operator Aena.
Aena plans to hike fees by 6.5%.
Ryanair claims this will make it unprofitable at smaller regional airports.
It expects to make an official announcement on this later this week.
The move wouldn’t impact capacity on major routes to Madrid, Barcelona and Spain’s top holiday destinations.
According to Ryanair DAC CEO Eddie Wilson the airline will ‘invest where we can get a return.’
The airline has already cut some Spain routes altogether and seat capacity for the same reason.
