Overview

• Ryanair will continue to exclude Dortmund, Dresden and Leipzig from its network in the coming months.
• The airline is removing 24 connections in Germany and trimming roughly 800,000 seats from its 2025/26 winter schedule.
• Cuts hit Berlin BER, Memmingen, Baden-Baden, Cologne and Frankfurt-Hahn, with BER losing five routes and about 230,000 seats.
• Ryanair links the pullback to high taxes and airport, security and air-navigation charges after a proposed tax reduction was dropped in federal budget talks.
• Some aircraft are being redeployed to lower-cost markets such as Sweden, while a BER night-flight dispute persists with an ongoing pilot investigation and about 30 diversions this year.
