Ryanair to cut winter capacity in Spain due to high airport charges

Investing.com -- Ryanair announced it will reduce its winter 2025 capacity in regional Spain by 41% and in the Canary Islands by 10% due to what it describes as excessive airport charges from monopoly airport operator Aena.

The airline will close its Santiago base and cancel all flights to Vigo and Tenerife North. Valladolid and Jerez airports will remain closed as part of the cuts.

Ryanair will also reduce capacity at several regional airports including Zaragoza by 45%, Santander by 38%, Asturias by 16%, and Vitoria by 2%. Additional cuts will affect operations in the Canary Islands.

These reductions will result in the loss of over 1 million Ryanair winter seats, equivalent to 2 million passengers annually, according to the airline.
