Ryanair will slash one million passenger seats from Spanish airports this winter, intensifying an ongoing row with Spain's airport operator and triggering major disruptions to travellers and smaller regional airports.
The Irish budget airline confirmed that it will announce the names of the affected Spanish airports next week. The cuts follow a dispute with Aena, Spain's airport operator, over increased airport fees, and come just months after Ryanair had already reduced 800,000 seats during the summer season.
