Ryanair to Pull Two More Aircraft from Vienna Over Austria’s High Air Passenger Taxes
Ryanair said on 29 October 2025 it will remove two more aircraft from its Vienna base for summer 2026, blaming Austria’s €12 air passenger tax and Vienna Airport fees. The move equates to a lost €172 million investment and follows earlier capacity cuts. Vienna Airport supports abolishing the tax and will trim its own charges, but warns connectivity could suffer. Corporates may face higher fares and reduced flight options if no policy change occurs.
