Ryanair cuts flights to major holiday hotspots amid tax hike
Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair has announced a major shake-up to its French routes, axing all direct flights to three regional airports and slashing services to several tourist hotspots. The airline will cease operations entirely to Brive, Bergerac, and Strasbourg, while flights to destinations including Marseille, Paris-Beauvais, and Toulouse will also be scaled back in the months ahead. The cuts mean fewer options for Irish travellers heading to some of France's most popular holiday regions.

M/Shutterstock Services to the sun-soaked French Riviera city of Marseille will fall by 9%, Paris-Beauvais, a key gateway to the capital, will see an 8% reduction, and Toulouse, famed for its 20 museums and vibrant cultural scene, will experience a 4% drop. In total, the shake-up amounts to the loss of 25 flight routes and around 750,000 seats on Ryanair services to and from France. The airline has blamed the reductions on rising aviation taxes, claiming that the increased costs have left certain routes unsustainable. The cuts mean fewer options for Irish travellers heading to some of France's most popular holiday regions. Pic: Philippe Clement/Shutterstock Ryanair says it had no choice but to scale back its French operations in order to protect its wider European network. In March, the French government moved to increase the 'Airline Ticket Solidarity tax.' This will be applied to all airline tickets on flights departing from French territory, and is aimed at supporting climate initiatives. Sharing a statement on the increase and subsequent change of service, Ryanair said: 'This completely avoidable loss will have a severe impact on regional connectivity, tourism and local employment. 'Unless the government changes course and abolishes this unfair air tax, Ryanair's capacity and investment in France will inevitably be redirected to more competitive European markets such as Sweden, Hungary, or parts of Italy.'
