Ryanair has asked Chancellor Karl Nehammer to abolish Austria’s air tax by the end of December and to cut flight‑safety fees by 50 percent.
The airline also wants growth‑incentive programmes reinstated at Vienna Airport, says it will invest and expand traffic in Vienna and Austria only if the tax is removed and fees are lowered, and calls for the 30‑million‑euro government aid programme for aviation to be ended.
Why it matters
Ryanair’s investment and traffic expansion plans are tied to the removal of the tax and lower fees.
