Despite being blessed with a record of 94 million foreign tourists in 2024, the tourist sector loved in the country has been confused and controversial. Local residents have been resentful of the rising rent of real estate diversions into vacation accommodations, and the Spanish authorities are urging Spanish authorities to introduce measures aimed at suppressing the adverse effects of tourism.
Last week, Ryan Air criticized the Spanish aviation industry, abolished flights from important local airports due to the “excessive price” imposed on airlines, and stripped about 80,000 seats in 2025. Further escalating. Spanish authorities have accused the company's actions as “intimidation,” but Ryan Air intensifies the controversy with Spanish airport authorities Aena to drop their luggage from some of the less successful regional airports. I'm letting me do it.
A major cheap airline that controls the Spanish air industry urged the Minister of Transport to a severe choice: “The Minister of Puente has two options. AENA continues to support the local airport policy that has failed or Aena. Requesting a growth plan. “If AENA AENA, which attracts an airline, fails to grow local airports, the sale of local airports, which is currently affected by its inconvenience, should be forced. “
Ryan Air was accused of “extortion” by a Spanish airport operating company, and the airport operating company urged the Irish airline to “calm down.” However, the company stated, “The Spanish local government is aware of the connectionability, the increase in tourists, and the value of employment creation, wants to act, and wants it now.” Not.
This cheap airline abolishes all routes to Jerez and Baryadrid, reducing flights at regional airports such as Bigo (61 % decrease), Santiago (28 % decrease), and salagosa (20 % decrease). It will be reduced by 800,000 seats from 12 routes. , Astrius (-11%), Santander (-5%).
This was done as a response to the 8.70 pounds per passenger imposed by Aena until 2025 by competitive monitoring organizations. However, Ryan Air's Eddie Wilson's CEO (CEO) claimed that it does not make up for the previous price increase, not a route to local airports.
He gave a lecture on a travel forum and said, “It is clear that AENA is expensive at Spanish airports and does not consider the access costs without competitiveness. Therefore, half of the regional airports are empty, and 64 % are currently the usage rate. Low. “
Despite the continuing controversy over small airport fees and reductions, Ryan Air is expected to increase the number of passengers by about 5 % thanks to additional flights to crowded airports. The UK is still the largest market in the Spanish tourism industry, accounting for 23 percent in this field, with a boom of 6.5 % in just one year.
Aena, Spanish airport authorities, blamed Ryan Air and said, “Aena is confused by Ryan Air, uses a false discussion that does not respond to the reality of Spain's airport charges, and without shame. I regret that I put pressure on. ” institution. “
