Ryanair clashes with Spanish airport operator Aena over fees

Ryanair and Spain's airport operator Aena are in a public dispute over alleged excessive airport fees. Ryanair claims these fees have forced flight reductions. Aena's CEO accused Ryanair's CEO of using passengers as scapegoats for operational issues, suggesting Boeing delivery delays are impacting Ryanair's expansion plans. Ryanair disputes this, stating it expects most new aircraft soon. Ryanair is reducing winter flights to some Spanish airports, though Aena states other airlines are filling the capacity gaps. This is part of a broader pattern of Ryanair clashing with airport operators over fees.
