Ryanair Closes Thessaloniki Base Amid Dispute Over Airport Charges

Ryanair Closes Thessaloniki Base Amid Dispute Over Airport Charges

Ryanair has announced the closure of its base in Thessaloniki, Greece, citing uncompetitive airport charges imposed by Fraport Greece, the operator of 14 regional airports. The budget airline plans to withdraw three aircraft and cut 12 routes, including 10 from Thessaloniki and two from Athens. Ryanair claims that the Greek government's reduction in the airport development fee has not been adequately passed on to airlines, leading to increased operational costs. Fraport Greece, however, attributes Ryanair's decision to the airline's commercial strategy rather than airport charges.

U.S. Department of Transportation Reports Decline in Airline On-Time Performance and Rise in Baggage Mishandling

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has released its February 2026 Air Travel Consumer Report, highlighting a decrease in on-time performance for airlines to 78.4 percent, down from 81.2 percent in January. This decline is attributed to winter-weather disruptions in the Upper Midwest and staffing challenges at key hubs. Additionally, mishandled baggage reports increased from 0.61 to 0.79 per thousand passengers. Complaints filed with the DOT's ACERS portal rose by 12 percent, indicating growing traveler dissatisfaction with missed connections and lost luggage. The report provides critical data for corporate travel buyers and mobility managers, offering benchmarks for negotiating service-level agreements in airline-discount programs.
