RYANAIR is set to scrap even more flights across Europe next year.
It comes just months after they confirmed that two million seats would be scrapped across Spain.
Earlier this year, the budget airline said they would be cancelling all flights to three French airports – Bergerac, Brive, and Strasbourg.
However, more are set to be axed, they have confirmed, affecting passengers in summer 2026.
Chief Commercial Officer Jason McGuinness told local media: “We will be leaving several regional airports in France this summer.
“When you increase taxes by 180 per cent, it makes these airports unviable for us.”
The new taxes will see an extra €4.77 per flight ticket when it comes to short haul flights.
However, long haul flights will increase by €120 (£105).
Which airports in France will be affected is yet to be confirmed.
Back in August, Ryanair said confirmed that two million seats across Spain would be being scrapped.
This affects all flights to and from Tenerife North, Vigo, Santiago Valladolid and Jerez.
Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said at the time: “If the costs in regional Spain are too high, I will fly elsewhere.
“We are better off flying at the same cost to places such as Palma [on the island of Mallorca] than flying to Jerez.”
The airport worst affected is Vigo, as the cancellations mean there are no longer any direct UK flights.
Another 1.2million seats are set to be cancelled across Spain next summer.
Lots of airports across Germany are also seeing a reduction in flights.
Memmingen Airport is losing 27 flights a week this winter, while Berlin will lose 76 in January alone.
Cologne is losing 44 in January as well.
Ryanair’s CEO Eddie Wilson said back in August: “Germany’s air travel market is broken and needs an urgent fix.
“As a result of these high Govt taxes/fees (the highest in Europe), and Lufthansa’s high-fare monopoly, German citizens/visitors now pay the highest air fares in Europe.”
Dortmund, Dresden, and Leipzig airports are to stay closed over winter.
