Air taxation: Ryanair puts pressure on and threatens to leave ten regional airports, Perpignan and Carcassonne could be affected

The airline Ryanair is threatening to leave ten French regional airports out of the 22 it currently serves. In any case, this is the way that the low-coast airline has found to put pressure on the French government, which plans to increase taxes on the airline sector. The measure, provided for in the 2025 budget, could in fact come into force on January 1, explains Le Parisien.

She did not reveal the list of airports affected. “Ryanair is currently reviewing its French programs and expects to reduce capacity to and from French regional airports by up to 50% from January 2025 if the French government continues with its short-sighted plan.”said the commercial director of the Irish low-cost carrier, Jason McGuinness, in a press release.

The government plans to recover one billion euros by tripling the solidarity tax on plane tickets (TSBA) and increasing taxation on private jet passengers.
