Full list of 19 airports affected by Ryanair flight cuts

It has been a turbulent year for the aviation industry in 2026, with the conflict in the Middle East, involving the US, Israel, and Iran, disrupting fuel supplies, prompting some airlines to raise fares and cut flights.

The EU’s new entry/exit system has also caused additional disruption by increasing processing times for travellers at airports.

These challenges have already resulted in three UK airlines falling into administration or liquidation in 2026.

Ryanair has also been forced to make several major changes in 2026.

In April, the budget airline revealed it would be closing its Berlin base as of October 24, reducing the number of flights it operates out of the German capital by 50% (for its upcoming winter schedule).

Ryanair also announced it will close its Thessaloniki base and reduce capacity at Athens Airport for the 2026 winter season.

This closure will result in:

• 12 routes being cut
• The loss of 700,000 seats
• A 45% reduction in passenger capacity
• Suspension of operations in Chania and Heraklion

The airline said both these cuts were due to high airport costs.
