Irish low-cost airline Ryanair said on Thursday it would end operations at three German airports (Dortmund, Dresden and Leipzig) from summer 2025, blaming high taxes and fees for the decision.
At the same time, Ryanair's flights from the northern city of Hamburg will be cut by 60% and in the capital Berlin by 20%, as announced in August.
Following in the footsteps of Ryanair, Lufthansa subsidiary Eurowings announced on Friday that it would cancel flights in Hamburg. In a first step, more than 1,000 flights will be cut by 2025, said Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings.
