Ryanair announces twenty route cuts across Belgium, raising widespread ticket price worries. Winter schedule drops twenty routes, erasing over one million passenger seats available.
Airports affected include Brussels, Charleroi, and several popular seasonal holiday destinations abroad.
Ryanair blames Belgian passenger taxes, which will rise to seven euros soon. Michael O'Leary warns fares may jump ten to twenty percent next year.
Ryanair says tax removal could add one hundred routes within seven years. Passengers should check flight status directly with airlines before booking travel plans.
