The CDU presidium urged the federal government to lower flight safety fees in the short term to prevent further thinning of domestic flight offerings and called for a mid‑term reduction of the air traffic tax to make German aviation competitive again.
The federal government lowered the air traffic tax on 1 July, and the coalition announced in November 2025 it would lower flight safety fees in 2026 for the first time and reduce them by more than ten percent by 2029.
