Ryanair cancels millions of flights to Spain: which airports will lose connectivity.

According to The Sun: The airline RYANAIR has announced the cancellation of another 1.2 million seats to Spain for next year.

Last month, the budget carrier announced the cancellation of all flights to three popular Spanish airports.

Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary expressed concern over the excessively high airport fees in Spain.

These cancellations will affect two million passengers and cover the airports of Tenerife North, Vigo, and Santiago.

Michael O'Leary also confirmed that another 1.2 million seats to Spain are scheduled for cancellation in the summer of 2026.

Which specific airports will be affected by this decision is still unknown.

He also warned of potential cancellations of flights to Santiago de Compostela, a popular spot among tourists walking the Camino de Santiago, and to Asturias.

The reason for the cancellation of the Spanish routes was conflicts over the current airport tariffs which, according to O'Leary, need to be reduced.

“If costs in the regions of Spain are too high, I will fly to other places.

“I'd rather fly for the same price to places like Palma in Mallorca than to Gerona.”

Ryanair's CEO Eddie Wilson previously stated: “Ryanair remains committed to Spain, but we cannot justify further investments in airports that are impeded by excessive and uncompetitive fees.”

All flights to Tenerife North will be canceled at the beginning of the winter season.

Additionally, all flights to Vigo will cease to operate from January 2026, meaning there will be no direct routes from the UK.

Ryanair to keep bases in Valladolid and Jerez closed

Flight disruptions are likely to lead to ticket price increases due to heightened demand for a limited number of airlines.

However, some Spanish airports will also receive more Ryanair flights.

Up to 600,000 seats are set to be added to other major airports like Madrid.

Moreover, the budget airline is expanding into other countries, particularly Morocco, where new bases have already opened in Marrakech, Fez, Agadir, and Tangier.

However, Spain is not the only country suffering from Ryanair flight cancellations.

Three cities in Germany will also lose some routes. Memmingen Airport will lose 27 flights per week, while Berlin will lose 76 flights in January.

Cologne will also lose 44 flights during the winter season.

While most Christmas market dates will remain unchanged, cancellations in January could reach about 30%.

Two airports in France will also experience losses due to Ryanair cancellations.

Bergerac Airport will lose all Ryanair flights, impacting 18,000 passengers, and Brive will also cease its route to London from Stansted Airport.

If your flight is canceled, it's important to know what to do next and what steps to take.

Ryanair flight cancellations will affect many travelers planning trips to Spain. Given that other airports will receive more flights, the situation may change. Optimistically, the company continues to expand routes in other countries, indicating its adaptability in the air transport market.
