Ryanair is reducing its services at several Spanish airports for 2025, removing 800,000 seats, which is 18% of its operations in Spain. The airline cites excessive fees from airport operator Aena as the reason, while Aena accuses Ryanair of blackmail. The dispute escalated with Ryanair's CEO criticizing Spanish officials, and Aena defending its fee structure. The cuts mainly affect regional airports, with Jerez and Valladolid losing all Ryanair services. Despite these reductions, Ryanair's overall activity in Spain is expected to increase.
