Ryanair Holdings plc urged the new Dutch government under Prime Minister Rob Jetten to scrap the Netherlands’ aviation “eco” tax, calling it a punitive measure that has driven up fares and reduced connectivity. The airline said the tax, set to reach more than €30 per passenger in 2026, has hurt regional airports and pushed travelers to fly from neighboring countries, while exempting KLM’s connecting passengers. Ryanair argued that removing the tax would restore competitiveness, lower fares, and help rebuild traffic, especially at regional airports.
