Ryanair cuts 800,000 seats in Spain, citing fees dispute with AENA, amid growth plans.

Ryanair is cutting 800,000 seats from 12 routes in Spain, citing "excessive fees" by the airport operator AENA. The airline demands AENA either sell underperforming regional airports or implement a growth plan to attract more airlines. Spanish officials call Ryanair's actions "blackmail." Despite the cuts, Ryanair expects overall passenger numbers to rise by about 5% in 2025, driven by increased flights to busier airports.
