RYANAIR is scrapping more flights to Spain and it will affect one of the country’s popular airports.
The budget airline has already axed millions of seats in recent months, citing expensive airport fees and charges.
And Ryanair has since confirmed that Girona Airport will be the latest victim, with 11 per cent fewer seats next summer.
The airline cited the “failed fee system” for the removals of seats, according to local media.
Alejandra Ruiz, the airline’s spokesperson in Spain, said: “Ryanair had ambitious growth plans for Catalonia’s regional airports, where it could have allocated a fifth aircraft to Girona, a new base in Reus, and unprecedented growth at both airports under competitive and beneficial conditions for all airlines.
“However, we are still waiting for a response from the Spanish government, which has no plans to fix these regional airports.”
Girona Airport is often used as an alternative to travel to Barcelona, as well as to Costa Brava.
Last year it reported more than 2.1million passengers in 2025 travelling through – its highest numbers since 2013.
Flights to Barcelona will grow, however, with two per cent more capacity, with another six per cent growth in seats for Reus.
And flights to El Prat – one of Spain’s busiest airports – will increase capacity despite being reduced by five per cent over the winter.
Ruiz added: “Our commitment to Barcelona remains strong and we will continue to grow, albeit at a more moderate pace until the airport expands.
Earlier this year, Ryanair confirmed that all flights to and from the Azores will be cancelled from March 29.
Affecting around 400,000 passengers who visit a year, this also includes routes from London.
More than two million seats have been axed across Spain which includes Santiago, Tenerife North and Vigo.
The only direct flights to Vigo from the UK were with Ryanair so Brits will now have to connect to fly to the Spanish city.
Ryanair boss Michel O’Leary warned at the time that “if the costs in regional Spain are too high, I will fly elsewhere”.
Last summer, Ryanair suspended all flights from the UK to flights to Brive and Bergerac, although flights to the latter have been restored.
And Riga in Latvia has also been hit with all routes from Edinburgh scrapped.
Otherwise here is a pretty European island that will be getting new Ryanair flights this year.
