Flights between Cornwall and Alicante have been cancelled for the rest of the winter season.
Ryanair says it is due to the increased travel restrictions across the EU.
The airline has had to reduce its schedule as a result and the Newquay to Alicante route has been suspended until March.
Bosses say that all the affected passengers have been contacted.
“Due to increased flight restrictions imposed by EU Govts, air travel has been heavily affected. As a result, Ryanair has reduced its winter schedule taking capacity down to 40% of prior year.
"Our UK W20 schedules have been impacted by these capacity cuts, and this route from Newquay to Alicante has been discontinued for the winter season. Passengers affected by these cancellations have been notified and informed of their options”.
