Ryanair opposes the 6.5% increase in passenger fees in Spain and threatens to reduce flights from regional airports.

Ryanair contests the 6.5% increase in fees imposed by the airport operator Aena, announcing possible cuts of one million seats for flights from Spain. CEO Michael O'Leary stated that, due to high costs, the company might redirect flights to other destinations. Ryanair has already canceled millions of seats and has called on the Spanish government to intervene. The conflict has generated strong reactions from Aena, which accuses Ryanair of extortion.
