Ryanair and Fraport Greece are in a public dispute following Ryanair's decision to close its base at Thessaloniki's Macedonia Airport. In a statement issued Wednesday, May 13, Ryanair accused Fraport of responsibility for the closure, citing airport fee policies. Fraport Greece manages 14 regional Greek airports, including Heraklion (HER) and Chania (CHQ) in Crete. While the immediate impact concerns Thessaloniki routes, travelers flying Ryanair to or from Crete should monitor any potential network changes, as disputes between the airline and its Greek airport operator could affect scheduling or route availability for the summer season. Passengers with existing bookings on Ryanair flights to Crete are advised to check their reservations directly on the Ryanair website for any updates.
