RYANAIR has confirmed that all flights to a European city are being cancelled.
The low-cost airline is scrapping flights to and from Aalborg, after Denmark announced new aviation taxes.
The new tax has introduced a 50DKK (£5.57) fee for all passengers departing Denmark, which is paid for by airlines.
The cancellation will see the London Stansted to Aalborg route scrapped from next month.
This is a blow to Brits who can currently fly to the Danish city for just £14.99 with Ryanair.
When the route stops, there will be no other direct flights from the UK.
Ryanair has since said they will also be closing its base at Billund airport, which has two aircraft.
While this means Ryanair will scrap flights to the city, there are still direct routes from the UK to Billund with British Airways, although prices are expected to go up due to demand.
This is also bad news for Brits wanting to head to Legoland Billund, with the cheap route being scrapped.
The cancellations will see 32 routes cancelled, with 1.7million fewer seats.
A Ryanair spokesperson said: “We are very disappointed to announce the closure of our 2 aircraft Billund base and our operations at Aalborg from the end of March, but we have been left with no other choice following the Danish Govt’s short-sighted decision to introduce a harmful aviation tax from Jan 2025.”
The Danish city of Aalborg – the fourth largest in Denmark – has previously been named the happiest city in the world, as well as the best for quality of life.

It’s not the only flight route that has been cancelled by Ryanair.
The Irish airline confirmed that their Bournemouth to Agadir route has been scrapped.
Having only launched the flight to the Moroccan city back in April 2024, it was the 19th new destination to fly from the regional airport.
