Ryanair to cut 1 million seats, remove five Belgium bases and drop ~20 routes after tax hike
Ryanair will cut one million seats, withdraw five Belgium‑based aircraft and drop about 20 routes for winter 2026/27 after Belgium moved to double its national passenger tax to €10 and Charleroi proposed an extra €3 levy. The airline says the cuts are a protest against higher aviation levies.
