Ryanair is shutting its base in Valencia Airport, Spain, with the loss of 70 weekly flights following a row with the local council.

The Irish airline operated 10 routes from the airport including three to England; Stansted, East Midlands and Liverpool.

Flights on all 10 routes, which were used by 750,000 passengers a year, will be cancelled from November 4th, Ryanair said today. The airline claims up to 750 local jobs will be lost as a result of the move.
