Ryanair announced it is withdrawing all services from Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) as well as Bremen, Dortmund, Dresden and Leipzig/Halle airports, saying Germany’s high taxes and airport fees drove the decision.
BER’s chief Aletta von Massenbach expects the carrier’s exit to cut the airport’s annual passenger traffic from 26.1 million last year to 25.7 million this year and to remove roughly 2.5 million seats per year, while overall flight numbers in Germany have fallen from 1.7 million in 2019 to under 1.4 million, an 18 percent drop.
