Ryanair has cut 12 routes from Berlin Brandenburg Airport for the winter schedule, citing high taxes and airport charges. Six destinations lose all direct services from the airport, while others are taken over by competing carriers. The airline has also reduced capacity across Germany.
Ryanair is cutting capacity and reducing seats on flights to and from Spain this winter due to high airport charges from state operator AENA. The airline cut millions of seats, closed its base in Santiago, ended flights to Tenerife North and Vigo and slashed regional services by up to 45pc. The airline shifts capacity to major hubs like Madrid and Barcelona while scaling back regional Spanish airports.
Ryanair trimmed its overall annual traffic targets and warned of soaring European airfares up to 20pc due to fuel costs and regional capacity reductions. The airline had originally claimed it would offer more than 22m seats to and from Spain this winter with 18 new international routes. The programme includes routes from Madrid, Barcelona, Alicante, Valencia, Malaga and Palma.
