Ryanair flights: Airline reduces flights to Portugal over 'unjustified' 17% increase in airport fares (msn.com)

Classic tactic, airport raises its fees and airline pulls routes that it wasn’t all that bothered about anyway (but still keep a large presence at said airport) then use it as a bargaining chip. Happened in Alicante over air bridge fees but it just allowed them to pull a load of marginal routes and redeploy the aircraft elsewhere.
