Overview
- The cuts span nine airports, with the largest reductions at Berlin (about 231,000 seats) and Memmingen (about 229,000), while Cologne/Bonn loses roughly 87,000 seats and two routes to Bristol and Copenhagen.
- Frankfurt-Hahn drops flights to Calabria, Sevilla and Venice-Treviso as part of the nationwide rollback affecting 24 routes in the winter 2025/26 schedule.
- Ryanair now plans to offer roughly 7 million tickets in Germany this winter, about 10% below its original plan and around 200,000 fewer than last winter’s capacity.
- The airline will station 29 aircraft in Germany, down from roughly 31–34 previously, and will continue to skip Dortmund, Dresden and Leipzig.
- Ryanair is redeploying aircraft to lower-cost markets such as Sweden after its tax repeal, warns of possible further reductions in summer 2026, and says tax relief could prompt 30 additional based jets, 34 million passengers and over 1,000 new jobs.
