¿Por qué se marcha Ryanair?

✈️ Ryanair to abandon four French airports this winter, including Beziers, which will only have two weekly flights from Charleroi. Why? High costs, similar to issues in Spain with Aena. Ryanair insists on maintaining its low-cost identity, preferring markets like Croatia, Poland, Albania, Romania, and Sweden with favorable fiscal policies. With tightly controlled costs, Ryanair's departure leaves routes unserved, as competitors struggle to operate profitably.

Ryanair advierte que sus años de expansión en España “se han acabado”

✈️ Eddie Wilson, CEO of Ryanair, warns that significant growth in Spain is ending due to saturated airports in Madrid, Barcelona, and the Balearic Islands. Only Málaga, Alicante, and Valencia will see growth, with minimal changes in Sevilla. Wilson suggests Aena should hand over airport management to regional governments to avoid closures. Ryanair is considering relocating to other parts of Europe if airport fees remain unchanged, as better options exist elsewhere.

El fracaso de los aeropuertos regionales, en cifras

🗺 Ryanair criticizes underutilization of Spanish regional airports as a "tourist catastrophe." Of 46 airports, 12, including Castellón, show low traffic: Valladolid and Vitoria (12%), Almería (18%), Zaragoza (20%), and Jerez and Vigo (28%, 30%). Girona, Santander, and others operate at 34% to 68% capacity. In 2024, 13 airports served 14.2 million passengers, far below their 40 million capacity. Currently, they operate at 36% capacity, dropping to 20% if Ryanair ceases operations. Aena's incentive plans fail to fill Ryanair's gap, highlighting network overcapacity.
