Ryanair plans to discontinue flights from major airports in Italy, Spain, Denmark, Austria, and France due to new taxes and surcharges that hinder profitability. Notably, the airline will cease operations from Rome's Fiumicino and halt growth at Ciampino, blaming municipal levies effective April 2025. In Spain, Ryanair anticipates an 18% drop in summer traffic, leading to 800,000 fewer seats and route cancellations. CEO Eddie Wilson highlighted that excessive airport charges stifle regional airport growth and utilization, advocating for government action to repeal these surcharges.
