Ryanair slashes German services, complains about taxes, fees DW 10/10/2024
Briefly

Ryanair's cuts in Germany for summer 2025 will result in 1.8 million fewer available seats, mainly due to high costs and the dominance of Lufthansa in the market.
CEO Eddie Wilson stated that Germany is recovering poorly from COVID-19, having regained only 82% of its air traffic. The high taxes and Lufthansa’s monopoly contribute to elevated flight prices.
Ryanair criticized the support provided to Lufthansa during the pandemic, claiming it creates an unfair market while leading to higher travel costs for passengers.
Despite flight reductions, Ryanair does not foresee job losses directly within the company but warns about potential negative impacts on related sectors like hospitality and transport.
