O'Leary (Ryanair): Aena encourages us to grow only in large airports
Ryanair's CEO advances that new planes will likely be assigned to Spain and that the group will continue to cut back on what it operates outside of main destinations, in order to focus on Madrid, Barcelona, Palma and Málaga.
Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, has announced that the airline will likely assign new aircraft to Spain and focus on major airports such as Madrid, Barcelona, Palma, and Málaga. The airline will continue to cut capacity at regional airports, citing high fees and low demand. O'Leary expressed satisfaction with the Spanish government's approval of Aena's tariff plan, Dora III, which allows for a 0.33% annual increase in fees from 2027 to 2031.
Ryanair plans to grow rapidly in Spain's major airports, and O'Leary expects to assign new aircraft to its Spanish bases in the future.
