Overview

• About one million winter seats will be cut, including a 41% reduction at regional peninsular airports (roughly 600,000 seats) and 10% in the Canary Islands (about 400,000).
• The airline will close its two-aircraft base in Santiago, withdraw all flights at Vigo and Tenerife Norte, and keep Valladolid and Jerez closed after summer suspensions.
• Capacity will be reduced sharply at Zaragoza (-45%), Santander (-38%), Asturias (-16%) and Vitoria (-2%), with 36 regional–Canary links canceled for the season.
• Ryanair says it will redeploy aircraft and seats to markets it deems more competitive, naming Italy, Morocco, Croatia, Albania, Sweden and Hungary, and it claims a $200 million investment loss in Galicia.
• Aena confirms tariffs will rise about 6.5% in 2026 to €11.03 per passenger—68 cents of which includes 45 cents to recover 2024 shortfalls—as ministers reject what they call airline coercion and schedule talks on connectivity and labor impacts.
