Ryanair will stop flying from Maastricht Aachen Airport (MAA) from October, the airline announced. According to McGuinness, these countries are “reducing airport costs and abolishing aviation taxes to stimulate traffic recovery and growth.”MAA told NOS that it regrets Ryanair’s decision. Ryanair does not want to pay the rates that cover the airport’s costs, the spokesperson told the broadcaster. Rising aviation taxes in the Netherlands also “obviously did not help bring the talks with Ryanair to a successful conclusion,” the MAA spokesperson said. Ryanair also mentioned the Dutch aviation tax, which, according to the airline, increased by 275 percent since 2021.
