The Irish company transports the most passengers in Spain and constitutes a large part of air traffic to and from smaller, regional airports in the country.
In Santiago de Compostela, it is pulling almost half a million seats and seven routes, which corresponds to 80 percent of the capacity. In total, it is reducing its capacity by 41 percent to and from the regional airports.
On the popular Canary Islands, 19 routes are disappearing and corresponding to ten percent of the flights, from among other places Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and Gran Canaria.
The reason for the reduction is, according to the company's CEO Eddie Wilson, increased fees from airport operator Aena.
Spain is a country closed to tourism, he says according to El País.
How the flights to and from the larger airports in Madrid, Barcelona, Palma, Malaga, and Alicante are affected is not yet clear. There, however, the development is expected to go in the other direction.
