Ryanair to drop multiple European routes in 2026 amid higher costs

Ryanair will restructure its network in 2026, ending service on several European routes. The airline cites rising airport fees, increased aviation taxes and broader cost pressures. Affected areas include Germany (notably Berlin, plus reductions around Hamburg and Cologne), Spain (Asturias, Vigo-Peinador, Tenerife North, and the Santiago de Compostela base) and Belgium (withdrawals at Brussels and Charleroi). Travelers may face fewer low-cost options and are advised that alternatives could include rail on some corridors or connections via larger hubs.

easyJet crews in Italy plan four-hour strike on 31 January

easyJet pilots and cabin crew in Italy have announced a nationwide strike on Saturday, 31 January 2026, from 13:00 to 17:00. Naples Airport operator GESAC has warned of potential delays and cancellations and urged passengers to verify flight status. The action, called by unions ANPAC and USB Lavoro Aereo, sits outside Italy’s guaranteed flight windows, so a notable share of services could be grounded. Disruptions may ripple across easyJet operations at Milan Malpensa, Naples, Venice, and Rome Fiumicino during the mid‑afternoon peak.
