Low-cost airline: Ryanair is significantly reducing its flight offerings in Germany

The Irish airline Ryanair wants to significantly reduce its flight offerings in Germany. The company announced that around 700,000 fewer seats will be offered in the coming winter flight schedule than last year. This corresponds to a decrease of ten percent. Ryanair cites high airport fees and the German air traffic tax as reasons.

Berlin-Brandenburg Airport is particularly affected. Ryanair wants to close its base there with seven aircraft and their crews on October 24th. Twelve routes, including connections to Gran Canaria, Palermo and Thessaloniki, will be completely eliminated. Overall, the offer in Berlin will be roughly halved, the airline said.
