Why the price of flights from Germany are going up
Briefly

Direct flight ticket prices from German airports are increasing this summer due to elevated government taxes and fees. Ryanair's average price has risen to €80, while Easyjet increased to €86. Eurowings leads at €130 per ticket, making it the costliest carrier. German airports rank high in Europe for costs, with Frankfurt and Munich being particularly expensive. Moreover, the recovery of air traffic in Germany post-Covid is lagging behind other European regions, leading to limited low-cost flight options and higher fares.
Ryanair's average fare for a one-way ticket has surged to €80 this year, signaling a rise from €66 last year, indicating a growing trend in flight costs.
Eurowings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, is currently charging an average of €130 for a one-way flight, making it the costliest provider of direct flights in Germany.
German airports impose some of the highest taxes and fees in Europe, with Frankfurt and Munich leading the list, impacting ticket prices significantly for travelers.
Since the Covid pandemic, German air traffic has not fully rebounded, with low-cost carriers operating at merely 85 percent of pre-crisis levels, resulting in higher fares.
