Ryanair has axed thousands of flights to Spain in a row over airport fees. 

The airline said 'excessive' fees imposed by Spanish airport operator Aena provoked the move as the budget airline battles with aviation officials. 

Ryanair will stop flying to the airports in southern Jerez and northern Valladolid, withdraw one aircraft based in Santiago and reduce traffic at five other regional airports.

Aena has criticised the airline axing the flights, accusing Ryanair of 'blackmail' and trying to force the operator to grant free access to its airports, the Telegraph reports.

'Unfortunately, this is Ryanair's modus operandi. In many countries, we have seen it for years: threats, half-truths, lies…,' Aena's president said in a statement.
