Ryanair vs. Aena: When an Airline Dispute Lands on Mallorca

Answer

Are airport charges in Spain unusually high for airlines like Ryanair?

Aena argues that its charges are not above the European average and says many airport investments are funded internally. Ryanair, by contrast, says higher costs and weaker support for regional routes make some Spanish airports less attractive. The dispute is not only about prices, but also about how costs and investments are being interpreted.
