Ryanair cancels flights again: 13 Spain routes cut — Canary Islands particularly affected

Answer

Why is Ryanair cutting flights in Spain?

The airline says the cuts are linked to a dispute over airport and handling costs. After fee increases were agreed for the first time in about ten years, Ryanair has responded by withdrawing some routes and moving capacity elsewhere. For passengers, the reason matters less than the practical result: fewer flight options on certain routes.
