Ryanair will cease operations in Thessaloniki during the 2026 winter season, withdrawing three aircraft and reducing capacity by 700,000 seats, resulting in the cancellation of 12 routes. The airline blames high charges from Fraport Greece and Athens Airport for these changes, which it claims have made Greek airports uncompetitive. Ryanair plans to move operations to more competitive countries and has proposed a development plan to increase passenger traffic in Greece, contingent on reduced airport charges.
