This was followed threats to pull next summer.

And now another European city could see all Ryanair flights axed.

Speaking to local media, Ryanair could cut its flight routes to Vienna-Schwechat Airport in Austria.

The airline cited a “harmful air ticket tax” as behind the potential route cancellations.

Not only would this see flights stopped, but it could also prevent the $1billion investment it is planning in .

Andreas Gruber, Managing Director of Ryanair subsidiary Laudamotion, said : “The costs are too high.

“Countries like Hungary, Slovakia or the Czech Republic don’t have this.”

It comes after routes to Vienna.

From next month, the to Vienna flight will be suspended, as well as the Bilbao-Vienna route.

The airline told Sun Travel: We can confirm that Wizz Air will gradually close its Vienna base following a strategic review of its operations and fleet allocation.

“Passengers with bookings on affected flights beyond the route suspension dates will be contacted directly to obtain a full refund in cash, WIZZ credits or rebook onto an alternative Wizz Air flight.”

The route first launched back in 2022.

It comes after Ryanair slammed the current air taxes across Spain, which has seen the cancellation of hundreds of flights.

And further cancellations were threatened by Ryanair boss .

He told Financial Times , Michael said: “I will probably announce another one million seats coming out next summer.

“If the costs in regional Spain are too high, I will fly elsewhere. We are better off flying at the same cost to places such as Palma [on the island of Majorca] than flying to Jerez.”
