Ryanair urged the Hungarian government to reduce airport costs

Ryanair announced eight new winter destinations from Budapest, increasing its routes to 54. New cities include Gdansk, Gothenburg, and Krakow. The airline credits the Hungarian government's removal of an extra profit tax for its growth, which has led to a 17% increase in traffic. However, Ryanair warns that rising airport fees at Budapest Airport could hinder future growth. The airline urges the government to lower these fees to maintain competitiveness. Ryanair's marketing director emphasized the contradiction of lowering aviation taxes while increasing airport costs. CEO Michael O'Leary recently predicted a significant rise in European ticket prices next year.
