Ryanair, a popular Irish low-cost airline, is cutting numerous routes across Europe due to the fact that some countries have increased aviation taxes and fees.

This is reported by Express.

Spain

In a statement, the airline confirmed that it would suspend operations in Jerez and Valladolid, close one of its bases in Santiago and reduce flights in Asturias, Zaragoza, Santander and Vigo. The airline stressed that the "avoidable losses" would be "devastating for regional connectivity, jobs and tourism in Spain".
