The company Ryanair confirmed this Thursday that it expansion plan in the State is “really affected” by the increase moneyespecially due to the growth of rates at local airports, where the airline is sued Aena of using a “false discount scheme”. In this sense, Ryanair has noted that the incentive scheme is “poorly designed” and does not benefit “in any way the small airports that really need the connection” and has shown that Aena “does not manage to draw a flight or route” . Also, the Irish airline noted that “without explanation” Aena has prioritized reductions in rates in Madrid and Barcelona “at the expense of increases in rates at regional airports”.

“While Aena continues to invest abroad in airports in the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, North and South America, it refuses to invest in incentives to support regional airports in Spain to grow metal- organization,” commented Ryanair executives, Eddie Wilson.

Ryanair, which held a press conference in Madrid on Wednesday to present its winter season, has not opened a new base since 2016 and warned that this is a “marked difference” to other competing areas including Calabria, Trieste, Dubrovnik i Tangierwhere the airline established itself this summer.

Last week, Ryanair announced last week that it will file a formal appeal with the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) against Aena intending to take the airport we had 0.5% ahead of next year he accused the company led by Maurici Lucena of committing a “new violation” of a Spanish government decision that includes a rate freeze until 2026.
