Overview
- Ryanair will add 11 routes and about 300,000 seats in Germany for summer 2026, with specific routes yet to be named.
- Growth will focus on Cologne/Bonn, Niederrhein-Weeze, Memmingen and Bremen, which reduced airport fees.
- Flights will be cut further at higher-cost hubs, including Hamburg down 20% and Berlin down 5%, according to the airline.
- The move follows Germany’s planned ticket-tax cut from July and lower or frozen air-navigation charges cited by Ryanair.
- The carrier is pressing for full tax abolition and deeper fee reductions, saying that could support 34 million annual passengers in Germany as well as more aircraft, routes and jobs.
