Ryanair calls on Government to cut Germany’s access costs or risk 10% further flight cuts

Ryanair called on the German Government to urgently cut its sky-high air access costs by reversing the recent 24% increase in Aviation Tax (and ultimately abolish it) or lose another 10% of Ryanair’s German capacity (1.5 million seats) for Summer 2025. Whilst other EU markets, such as Hungary, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, are cutting or abolishing their Aviation Taxes, Germany’s Aviation Tax, which recently increased by 24%, is the second highest in the EU and is damaging Germany’s air travel industry.
