Flying is comparatively expensive in Germany. This is due, among other things, to the recently increased aviation tax. Ryanair will reduce its offer in this country in the summer of 2025.
The Irish low-cost airline Ryanair is significantly reducing its offering in Germany. Dortmund, Dresden and Leipzig will no longer be served from summer 2025, as the airline announced in Hamburg. The offer in Hamburg will be reduced by 60 percent in the summer and that in Berlin by 20 percent. Overall, the offer in Germany will be reduced by twelve percent next summer compared to the summer of this year. 22 routes were eliminated. It has been known since August that Ryanair wants to reduce its services at the capital’s BER airport.
It said in a statement: “This is due to the German government’s continued failure to reduce aviation tax, security and air traffic control fees, which is hampering recovery and growth.”
Ryanair had already threatened in August to cut its offering in Germany if the federal government did not withdraw the aviation tax that was increased in May.
