Overview

• Service at Asturias will cease from next summer, with existing promotional contracts keeping some winter routes running until March 2026.
• Ryanair will add about 600,000 seats at major hubs including Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga and Palma, with the rest redirected to lower‑cost airports in Italy, Morocco, Croatia, Sweden and Hungary.
• The latest reduction brings total regional seat removals in Spain to roughly 3 million across 2025 and 2026.
• Aena has approved an airport tariff increase of about 6.5% for 2026 to around €11.03 per passenger, a move Ryanair says makes smaller airports less viable.
• The announcement comes as the European Commission opens an infringement procedure over Spain’s fines on budget carriers for hand‑luggage and related charges.
