Ryanair will “eliminate a million places.” Does not exclude the closing of airports

General Director of Ryanair Eddie Wilson warns Spain against the consequences of introducing airport fees an increase in Aena. From next year, the carrier would have to pay as much as 6.62 percent. More, despite the record number of passengers. If the airport manager does not withdraw from his plans, the airline declares huge cuts. I am talking about “a million places” that will be removed when reducing routes or closing regional airports.

Ryanair will “fly away” from Spain?

In recent months, Spain is one of the most problematic markets for Ryanair right after France. CEO of Ryanair Eddie Wilson believes that in the near future the country with the capital in Madrid can meet exactly what its western neighbors – cuts of flights and even closing airports. I am talking about the liquidation of “a million places”.

The reason is the increase in airport fees lodged by the monopolistic manager of Spanish ports – Aena. From the new year, Ryanair would have to pay 6.62 percent. More than before despite very good results, measured in millions of transported tourists. “If Aena continues to raise her and so uncompetitive prices, Ryanair will have no other choice but to drastically limit the number of places and routes served to regional Spain,” reads Majorca Daily Bulletin.

We will know the routes next week

According to the Spanish media, information about the routes covered by the sanctions is to be provided on Wednesday next week. In this matter, we also contacted the Polish Press Office of the Carrier.

For now, it is not known whether the reduction will also cover flights from our country, and if so, whether it will only affect the smaller number of cruises or the total removal of some directions. The carrier does not exclude the closing of subsequent airports, as was the case with Valladolid and Jerez.
