Ryanair: ‘Excessive Fees’ Led To Canceling Winter Flights To Spanish Airports

Ryanair is set to cut more than one million seats this winter in Spain, blaming airports for levying excessive and uncompetitive charges on the carrier, which has traditionally emphasized a business model of operating ultra-low-cost flights. The direct target of Ryanair’s ire has been state-owned air operator Aena, and leaders at that organization have been quick to call the airline’s tactics “dishonest,” accusing it of attempting to bend public policy to serve its own interests.
